The Applied Museum Studies (AMS) program of Algonquin College has been
facilitating the development of Field Placements and Special Project
opportunities, for students of the AMS program, for over 35 years.
These partnerships are recognized as an invaluable opportunity for
students to further develop and apply recognized professional museum
practices.

AMS program has launched it's "online requests for community
partnerships" website.

http://www.algonquincollege.com/museum/partnerships.html

The web site features a brief overview of Field Placement Requirements
and Special Project Partnerships. Two supporting documents, in word
format, are available for review. They include;

Hosting a Field Placement
Special Project FAQ's

The AMS program has also posted examples of past student special
projects, in pdf format.

Areas of Study include, Museum Management, Public Programming,
Conservation, Exhibit Design/Construction and Collections Management.

Institutions wishing to host a student as part of a Field Placement or
to partner with a student in the development of a Special Project can
formally request a partnership by completing the online request form.

http://www.algonquincollege.com/museum/partnerships.html

Requests from industry specialists are received by the program,
assessed and posted for student review. If a student is interested in
participating in a partnership with your institution they will contact
you directly.

Please note that the AMS program receives more requests for field
placements and special projects than it can accommodate and the
submission of a request to host a student as part of a field placement
or to partner in a special project is not a guarantee that one will
occur.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
