Description of survey:
This is a survey to gauge the interest of Chicago Area Archivists and Chicago Area Religious Archivists members in a potential cross-training program at Chicago-area repositories, institution, or practitioners.
A cross-training experience is envisioned to be a temporary professional-quality interaction between the host organization and the individual person, or between two organizations that exchange personnel temporarily to experience professional quality opportunities. The purpose of this proposed CAA/CARA cross-training program would be to facilitate ongoing learning opportunities for individuals who already have professional work experience, but who wish to learn new work practices, skills, technologies that cannot be accessed through one’s employer.
Existing graduate programs in public history and library science already provide (or should provide) internship opportunities for those schools’ students. This CAA/CARA cross-training program is for members with archival or related cultural heritage work experience, especially individuals who lack the employer-based learning they seek.
The CAA Professional Development subcommittee members and CARA will follow up with respondents to this survey who express interest in a cross-training program via an additional survey to ask detailed questions about professional development needs.
Please follow the link to respond to the survey.
