Events Apprentice Review

As an events apprentice, my role involves supporting the Event Managers and wider team, helping to deliver a wide range of events and being the key admin support on the team​.
I have a wide range of responsibilities in my role such as, managing RSVPs and relaying information back to client strategy teams, managing overtime staff and operations forms for events, taking ownership and managing small-scale events, keeping our team diary and calendars up to date, assisting at events with check-in/cloakroom and with other ad-hoc tasks, supporting with invoices and communicating with suppliers.

I have a dedicated 'study day' each week, where I can focus on completeing my apprenticship tasks and attending any additional apprenticeship learning opportunities/webinars. The team are flexible and happy for me to spend extra time on tasks during the week to meet deadlines.

Every month I have one group training session/lesson and I am given a number of follow-up tasks relevant wo what we have learnt. I also have a monthly 1-1 with my tutor to discuss my progress and any questions or concerns. The training provider offer so much support with my study, as well as offering mental health support systems to those who may need them.

The L3 Events Assistant Apprenticeship is very relevant to my role and has helped me to improve my understanding of events on a wider scale, which has helped me to perform better in my role.

Since I began my apprenticeship here in August, I have thoroughly enjoyed working at such a diverse, interesting and passionate company. I have met so many friendly and engaging people in the company, and joining with approx. 30 apprentices enabled me to make friends who are all at the same stage of their careers as me, and it has offered me the opportunity to learn more about heir departments and roles. Furthermore, I love learning more about the art world and playing a part in making our auction successful has been a highlight.
