Getting Started
Free one-week courses for recent UK graduates in precious metals
Continuation of professional development is a key element of the work of the Goldsmiths' Company Technology & Training Department. A portfolio of specialist training has been created to support both graduates and those who are already established within the industry through a programme of masterclasses, seminars and other professional development activities.

'Getting Started' 17th-21st January 2011
An Introduction to Business for Jewellers and Silversmiths

Getting Started is a FREE week-long course for recent UK graduates of precious metal courses.

Delivered as a series of seminars and workshops in January each year, the programme focuses on the 'next steps' for those wishing to pursue a career within the industry. The aim of the course is not to dictate any particular career route for recent graduates: instead the aim is to provide an opportunity for attendees to review their options alongside a range of practical help and guidance for those wishing to pursue a particular career path.

“Getting Started is the most valuable programme available to give us a real insight into the industry and the opportunity of meeting successful trend setters and influencers who are stimulating and passionate about UK jewellery. I am very glad I came.”

“I feel like I came in as a clueless graduate and now feel like I have been given the information to take the steps to become a professional designer maker”

“The networking opportunity was excellent, although for me it wasn’t one of the opportunities I was looking forward to, on reflection it was the most important and useful opportunity”
