In 2009 three outstanding candidates will be awarded a fully-funded 5 week intensive professional development program in the United Kingdom (UK). This includes a high-level professional placement within a UK cultural organisation and a tailored leadership training program. Upon their return to Australia, we will be working to secure a paid placement in a relevant organisation to ensure their knowledge and contacts are perpetuated.
Accelerate seeks accomplished individuals who are established in their art-form, well-respected by their community and professional peers and poised to take the next step in their careers. Applicants will be invited to self-nominate, or can be nominated by community peers and industry leaders.
Applications open Friday 12 June and close Friday 17 July 2009.
