EPIC Transition Year Work Experience Programme Sept 2026 - April 2027

EPIC's TY work placement programme gives students the chance to learn about the tourism industry by working with the teams and experiencing the daily operations of our museum, gift shop and other departments.

At EPIC we offer one and two week block TY placements. All students are assigned a work buddy each day who helps guide them through their placement.

Students work as part of the team and get hands on experience in:

• Welcoming visitors to the museum and gift shop.
• EPIC Museum Visitor Engagement: assisting all visitors and ensuring they have a world class experience, learning about museum content and stories to confidently engage and chat with visitors about their stories.
• Shadowing tour guides to learn about delivering a tour.
• EPIC Gift Shop Customer Service: product knowledge, selling skills, recommendations, helping customers select gifts.
• Gift shop merchandising standards, stock control, dealing with deliveries and orders.
• Working with the team at the museum ticket desk and gift shop till points, processing and selling tickets and purchases.
• Opportunity to spend time in or schedule a job chat with support departments such as Tech, Facilities, Marketing, Sales - dependent on student interest and availability of team members.

We are now accepting applications for the Academic Year Sept 2026 - April 2027.
