GoggleWorks Center for the Arts

GoggleWorks Center for the Arts will expand its workforce development programs dedicated to advancing and empowering marginalized groups to develop pathways into museum careers. Project activities include implementing an eight-week career development mentorship program for 15 local high school students, a ten-week summer residency program for two emerging cultural leaders to carry out innovative projects, and an internship program for five emerging museum professionals. To support these programs, the museum will develop a new communications and outreach program in Spanish and English to reach specific audiences. The project will broaden and diversify the museum workforce by increasing access to administrative training, arts education, and soft skills training while developing networking connections for program participants.
