The application process:

Sign up to our online application form and if successful we will book you into a virtual interview (on phone or video call).

What the opportunity consists of:

Part one (one month) – an introduction to the events industry 

The introduction phase gives potential Elevate NewGen candidates a flavour of the industry and a taste of what the full NewGen experience would offer. This includes live and virtual sessions including an opportunity to spend an afternoon in an agency, advise about the full scope of careers in the events industry, a taste of mentoring and an introduction to the Elevate support network.

Part two (two months) – the full NewGen experience 

A focused two month programme of live and online meet-ups, workshops, training and work experience. Plus the chance to experience events and help guide young people into further training, education or a full time job.    

Each candidate gets allocated a champion (mentor) for an hour a week minimum. This would be eight hours over the course of the second phase but ultimately we would encourage constant connection for as long as wanted.

Each candidate also has:

• Two hours with a professional coach

• 1-2-1 career coaching which will include: Interview training and coaching, CV and cover letter writing, LinkedIn training and personal branding session

• Exposure to industry leading events, behind the scenes and as a guest

• We will host skills sessions – covering things like: pitching, creative process, technical production, content creation and strategy

• Access to our ‘toolbox modules’ which will include: office basics and finance amongst others
  

The programme will be made up of online and in-person toolbox masterclasses and workshops, specially curated work experience opportunities, the chance to see some of the best examples of live b2b and b2c events and activations, meet experts, meet the wider Elevate community and on top of all that each one will be allocated a coach and a champion.
