\"Selfie<\/p>\n

Online graduate Kasy who studied the Diploma. The result? A total life changer!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s one thing to realise you want to make event management your career. It\u2019s another thing to believe you can actually make it happen. In this post we meet recent online Diploma graduate Kasy, who studied events online then landed a fantastic event role only two months after her course finished. Employment success is always something to celebrate, but it was Kasy\u2019s work ethic, open attitude to growth and solid self-belief (a little shaky to start) that really stood out and became for her a \u2018total life changer\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasy used to work from one pay packet to the next. She knew there should be more to a working life\u2026like passion and fulfillment. She didn\u2019t know much about event management so completed the Event Foundation short course which gave her an understanding of the workings of the event management world. That experience sparked that special \u2018something\u2019 that she knew she had to pursue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s a pretty nice goal and one definitely worth shooting for. Read our Q & A with Kasy to find out where she went from there…<\/span><\/p>\n

Since completing the event foundation course with [College of Event Management] I\u2019ve found that I want to keep pursuing this as a career and I want to be able to provide or produce an event that people are going to create the most magical memories and be able to enjoy themselves.<\/span>”\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Where do you work and what is your position?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I’m an Event Assistant with the Aaron Sansoni Gr<\/a><\/span>oup<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long did it take to secure a job in events after graduating?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

2 months (insane to think).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with CoEM in 2020, during a pandemic, it was hard to predict whether studying Event Management would be worth it. Throughout the whole Diploma, the guidance and support shown from all of the College of Event Management leaders and teachers and all the little life lessons we learnt along the way (having to trust my own judgement) are the major things I’ve taken away from my experience with the college. Everything I have learnt has helped me get to the next stages of my career and not even two months after graduating, I am a week off starting my first a position as an Event Assistant.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n
