Explore the role of an event organiser
Careers in events management are becoming popular and competitive, with events organisers producing events that range from huge music festivals to product launches for small businesses.
As part of your research into your options for the future you have decided to explore the role of an event organiser and your suitability for this role.
Your research into the role could include an interview with someone who has experience of organising events, and a record of the outcome in the form of an interview transcript.
Your research into your suitability for this role will involve carrying out two skills audits, one for an events organiser, and one for yourself.
You will use your research to produce a report.
You will have to gather comprehensive research evidence into the role and skills of an events organiser.
Your research should include:
● the tasks and procedures to be completed in organising and setting up an event
● Formats for skills audit collection including an audit of own skills
● an investigation of current legal requirements for events organisation
Using this research, prepare an individual report which explains the role and skills required to be an effective events organiser.
You will need to measure your suitability for this role by matching your own skills to those skills required by an event organiser. Carry out a personal skills audit that analyses your own skills, highlighting areas for development and how this might be achieved.
Using the results from your skills audits, conclude your report with a full justification of how your own skills match those of an events’ organiser.
