Two women standing in a lab looking at some bone fragments with the text that says, 'Want to AMP up your career? Historic England is launching small grants for Archaeological Mentoring Partnerships to support the development of post-excavation specialist skills. AMP grants (£3,000 to £7,000) offer funding to enable experienced practitioners in archaeological post-excavation specialisms to provide emerging professionals with structured skills development, using a one-to-one mentoring approach. To support the launch of these grants we are running a workshop as a fringe event to the 2025 CIfA conference. Join us at the BMI in Birmingham on 29th April to meet potential Mentors or Mentees, learn good practice in what makes a great mentoring partnership and find out how you can apply for a grant! Read caption for more information.’
