Definitely learnt the realties of working in a museum and how its not straight forward and how the different departments work together and how they are different. — Laura, 2025 cadet
I really put my skills to practice. Definitely saw different facets and positions within marketing existed that I didn't know about before. — Lilly, 2025 Cadet
Palaeontology and Biobank were the highlights, a lot of the hands on work was fun and interesting - made the time go quickly. Supervisors in both areas were great. — Koki, 2025 Cadet
