Hi - first of all, congratulations! I'm really interested to hear how you get on. A little bit of a plug, but I am involved in the Institute for Archaeologists New Generation Special Interest Group. You'll hear and have heard lots about IfA, some good, some bad, but lets leave that aside for now! You may also hear of our group branded as 'the young people group', but that is not the case!
Our group exists to provide training, CPD and training opportunities for new entrants to the profession. Whilst this is usually uni students, we are keen to make links with people entering through non-degree routes (particularly through career changes). If you would like to find out more about us we are on Facebook, or please email us at IfaNewGen@mail.com We are relatively new ourselves, so would value input on the kind of things someone like yourself might find helpful (I've already noted glossary of archaeological acronyms...).
