Our industry wide working group are focused on three pillars of strategy these are:

Education and Governance pillar group

• The education and governance pillar group are responsible for review of the current events apprenticeship standards.
• These will be approved and signed off by the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (IFATE).

Marketing and communications

• Building out the key message and accompanying presentations to raise awareness of the programme and keep the conversation going
• Engaging with industry media.

Fundraising and governance

• Fundraising and governance are responsible for raising funds through partnerships, sponsorship and donations from the industry to support the development of the events apprenticeship programme.
• These funds will be raised through industry contributions and sponsorship.

The Events Apprenticeships Advisory Board has been established to take on the mission of "producing an inclusive and accessible apprenticeship framework which meets the needs of the events industry, delivering skilled and confident people with a desire to succeed and contribute."

Picking up the reins of the existing Event Assistant Apprenticeship, the board will work with event businesses to build a sustainable model for success.
