What are the benefits of becoming an event manager?   

• Increase your chances of finding the right job

• Work together with other volunteers and professionals from our community
• Develop new skills
• Organize workshops and webinars
• Make a positive contribution to society
• Work in a safe and supportive learning environment

What does the program look like?

Before the program starts, you will have a intake with the talent coach. This is followed by an in-person session in Utrecht and a second session online. You will set a personal learning goal and learn how to organize and facilitate workshops.

Throughout the program, you will have development meetings with the talent coach. During these conversations, you will discuss your learning goal and the steps you want to take towards finding a new job. After four months, you will have a progress review, and after six months, you will complete the program.

In the meantime, you will organize your own workshops for job seekers in the city where you are active. You will work together with trainers, other event managers, and JobOn’s core team.

Volunteer work to increase your job opportunities

We ask you to actively participate in the sessions and organize at least two workshops. On average, you will spend around six hours per week in your role. You can divide these hours flexibly throughout the week.

Your job search always comes first. If you find a job during the program, we will discuss together how you can complete the program in a way that works for you.
