Hello, this is Sylvia Densmore. I'm the coordinator of the Event Management Graduate Certificate program here at Algonquin College.
Jonathan and I are going to share a bit of information with you today about the program. Hi Sylvia.
Can you tell us a bit about the Event Management program?
The program is a one-year, two semester program: the start dates in September
finishing in April or you can start in January and finish in August.
It's a post- graduate program. What do students need to get in?
Prospective students require two years of post-secondary education from any discipline.
Courses that they'll take actually while they're here in the program includes Logistics, Operational Risk Management.
They'll also take Human Resource Management and Volunteer Management.
They'll take courses in Sponsorship, and Revenue Generation, Marketing and Media, Food and Beverage and many others.
Sylvia, after completing this program what job opportunities will students expect to find?
Well Jonathan that's a big question.
Graduates from our program actually will have project management skills.
The job opportunities come from a wide variety of area. They can work in government on events like the G8 the G20.
They can work in sports for events like Grey Cup to peewee baseball events, they can work in weddings and
ceremonial events, they can work in the entertainment sector with concerts, awards events, festivals, lots of different kinds of festivals.
Examples would be Winterlude.
Charitable non-profit organizations hire our students.
Almost every corporation out there needs an Event Management student to do product launches, employee events. We also work in the trade show and
exhibition sector.
If you're interested in politics you can do
campaign management and of course event marketing which is a huge opportunity for our students.
That's amazing. Would you consider this program hands-on? Yes, Jonathan, the program is actually extremely hands-on. Students have to complete
120 hours of field work placement. We have numerous organizations within the community who work with us. They contact us.
We match students with them to do the placement. Students actually get to choose what type of event they like to work on.
The second experiential learning opportunity that students are involved in are called wish events. In the first semester,
once they get here,
students form a team and then they begin to take what they learn the classroom and build a business plan of that event.
In the second semester they will execute the event in the community.
During the last 11 years
we've been working and raising funds for the Children's Wish Foundation and in May 2017
we were able to announce that students had raised 1 million dollars and granted 100 wishes for the Children's Wish Foundation. - an incredible feat.
I find it very rewarding to help such an amazing cause.
Like most people who join this program,
I had no idea of the numerous opportunities available for graduates. Through my work placement and networking, I now know the direction I want to go in.
If anyone is interested in applying simply go to Ontario Colleges.com and put your application in.
If you'd like to contact me my email is on this video.
