Explore Event Management Jobs

If communication skills are your forte and you get excited about being in the limelight and organizing things, then you might consider event management as a career option. Event management requires you to be social, outgoing, possessing excellent organizing skills and of course, top notch communication skills. Are you the person behind cultural programmes in your college? Does preparing, rehearsing and organizing a great show get you all charged up? If you agree then turn your passion into a career.

Event management will require you to organize programmes of various magnitudes. From cultural programmes, small office meets to high level international seminars and symposiums, event management oscillates between the hip and happening to the serious and conservative. As an event manager, you have to study the venue, understand all the requirements, thoroughly know the purpose of the event and estimate a budget for it. You will have to arrange all that is needed in the programme and might be asked to take part in the scheduling and sequencing of events as well. Once you know the details of a project, you will need to submit a report based on which you will receive the contract to organize it. Plenty of young people are showing an inclination towards this owing to the excitement and creativity it promises. Event management grooms your organizing skills, man management skills and demands innovative thinking.

If you are interested in jumping into the event management bandwagon, you can pick up and sharpen your skills at National Institute of Event Management (NIEM), College of Events and Media (COEM) etc.

Faculty Training-A Step in the Right Direction

In an earlier post I had discussed that the general unfamiliarity of teachers with technical vocabulary is a major problem ailing our technical institutions. A lot of the course material is lost on the English teachers who largely hail from a non-technical backgrounds and they struggle to explain things to their students. Now it is heartening to see that something is being done about this issue.

The Indo-US collaboration for Engineering Education (IUCEE) conducted a training/orientation programme for teachers in the field of technical education. Around 600 teachers participated in a session with acclaimed US professors to familiarize themselves with existing and emerging technology as well as to improve their teaching skills. These teachers will in turn speak to the staff of IUCEE regional centres all over the country enabling a large number to grasp various technicalities and become better equipped to handle technical courses.

Needless to say this will go a long way to improve the employability of teachers aspiring for a position in technical training and students who will be taught by them. I think these workshops should not only be conducted for teachers but for the students also. It will give them a chance to acquaint themselves better with technology and prepare some who want to get into academics.
