Curtin University of Technology\u2019s new Indigenous Curatorial Traineeship Scheme has won a prestigious award.<\/p>\n

The scheme has won the Australia Business Arts Foundation\u2019s (AbaF) Marsh Partnership Award and will take part in the national awards in Melbourne next month.<\/p>\n

The AbaF Awards are Australia’s top awards for business and arts partnerships, sponsorships, volunteering and giving.<\/p>\n

Curtin\u2019s Cultural Heritage Program Director, Professor David Dolan, of Willetton, said the training scheme was a partnership between the University, mining companies AngloGold Ashanti, Downer EDI and Carey Mining and the Art Gallery of WA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three-year employment and mentoring scheme is tailored to young Indigenous people seeking a career in museums or art galleries,\u201d Professor Dolan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme provides the trainee with work and educational opportunities with the trainee being employed by the Art Gallery of WA and sponsored by the mining companies. They also study half-time for the Graduate Diploma in Applied Heritage Studies at Curtin, which includes placement at the University\u2019s John Curtin Gallery. As a partner Curtin’s contribution is to waive fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cChad Creighton was selected as the first trainee under the new scheme after completing a Bachelor of Arts. He now has three years employment experience from the Art Gallery of WA, a graduate qualification from Curtin and has been involved in an award winning scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a win-win situation for all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Dolan said the AbaF award demonstrated how much the program, its courses and graduates were valued in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraduates like Chad Creighton are in strong demand in the heritage and cultural sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the AbaF award, the Indigenous Curatorial Traineeship Scheme won a 2006 Western Australian Business and the Arts Partnership Award.<\/p>\n
