EVENT INTERNSHIPS FOR NON-PROFITS
|
Are you looking for interns to support your events team?
Do you have staff or volunteers interested in an Event Management qualification? Then our internship program could be a solution for your organisation. EM Institute delivers training toward the nationally accredited Diploma of Event Management. As part of this program students will complete a work placement in a real world event management team. As an organisation, we are passionate about the value that events have for the Australian non-profits sector and the career opportunities this sector provides for our graduates. To support and inspire both non-profits, like yours, and young professionals to work in this sector, we have created the Event Management Internship program. HOW IT WORKS We provide participating partners with an “Internship Scholarship” that you can promote in your organisation. You can then award this scholarship to one of your staff or volunteers who you feel would make a great event manager and would be interested in interning with your organisation as part of their training. The student gains their event management qualification, enjoys reduced course fees and gains real world experience at your organisation, which you know they already love. You get a spare set of hands for your events team! It’s a win-win. If you are a non-profit organisation and would like to discuss having an event management intern for your organisation please contact us. |

FAQs
Do I need to pay my intern?
Not usually. The work placement is a mandatory part of a nationally accredited course hence it is a non-paid vocational placement under Fairwork (Click here for factsheet). However, if you are offering the scholarship to a member of staff who is already paid to do an events role, then that payment would continue.
What does the intern do?
An internship will typically be around 3 months and have the intern working as part of your team whilst gaining real world experience and training for their portfolio.
What is the scholarship worth?
To support and inspire young professionals to develop their career with a non-profit internship we award a scholarship that reduces their course fees significantly.
