Program Description
If you want real life experience in events management, then this is the right programme for you since this Work Experience Programme allows you to learn about planning and running events including budgeting, marketing, and team management.
While EDGE of AFRICA will brief you, the responsibility for planning all the logistics of the event, including securing necessary sponsorship, marketing the event, completing risk assessments and managing any team members will be on you. You will have the valuable experience of planning and running your own event from start to finish! Events organised through this programme must always be in line with EDGE of AFRICA’s ethos and must assist in promoting EDGE of AFRICA’s various projects. Past events have included community awareness events, sports tournaments, and talent competitions.
You also have the option of combining your Work Experience Programme with any of our Knysna based Community or Conservation Volunteer Programmes! Please inquire for more information.
