As high school students ponder which career to pursue, historic preservation might not come immediately to mind. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is working with its partners on ways to change that.
The fields of historic preservation and cultural resources management are currently experiencing shortages of skilled candidates to fill jobs necessary to support the national historic preservation program. This year, the ACHP embarked on a multi-faceted project to attract high school and college students to careers in historic preservation.
