Hello from the Work Placement team at The Event Academy!

The time has come for us to begin our search for amazing work placements for our next cohort of postgraduate students. If you are interested in taking one of our outstanding, work-ready students to support your team, we invite you to send us a job description.

Students will be available to begin a 3-month work placement with you from approximately March 2026; however, there is some flexibility if you have a particular project in mind.

Postgraduate Work Placement Timeline

Now → Employer call-out. We’re inviting companies to express interest and submit job descriptions.

From January 2026 → Student CVs sent to employers. You’ll begin receiving CVs from our work-ready postgraduate students.

→ Interviews can start. Our students get snapped up very quickly, so please book interview dates as soon as you can.

From March 2026 → The placement start window opens. 3 - 6 month work placements begin.

We work closely with many leading organisations like yours to place our students at the heart of the event industry, and hope that you will want to participate in this programme this year. We are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, certified by the CPD Standards Office and endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality.

Benefits of Work Placements

All students come to us having either completed a degree or having previous relevant work experience, and are now dedicated to launching a career in the event industry. Work placements form a vital part of our students’ studies and follow directly after the completion of their classroom-based training.

Costs

Students understand that their placement may be unpaid, as it forms part of their studies. However, our clients agree that our students bring real value to the workplace and deserve fair compensation, especially as they cover their own accommodation and living costs during their placement.

Next Steps

If you are interested in taking on one of our students for a work placement, please send a job description for the role(s) that you are offering at your earliest convenience.

Please let our Career Services Team know if it would be helpful to have a quick chat to run through any details that you would like specific clarity on.

We look forward to working with you.
