The Canadian Museums Association’s Young Canada Works (YCW) team has been delivering workshops to heritage organizations interested in improving their applications to YCW heritage programs. YCW is an important investment in the future of the museum industry, creating development opportunities for future colleagues.

In this session, Mark Poirier will guide you through common pitfalls of the YCW application, and will provide you with some simple ways to improve the quality of your application and increase your chances of success. Information will be provided for both the YCW in Heritage Organizations (short-term work experience) and YCW at Building Careers in Heritage (graduate internships) programs.

In an increasingly competitive field, your organization and funding applications need to stand out from the crowd. Any edge helps. Come find out how you can make your YCW application shine!
