If you are looking for work in the event industry, volunteering is one of the best ways to gain experience. If you are a student then volunteering gives you the opportunity to put theory into practice and to gain industry contacts. Some of the opportunities on offer are paid and some will cover expenses.
The event industry has a multitude of different opportunities, this can make it difficult to decide which role you might enjoy the most. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to explore different roles and see what you like and what you don’t.
