Events Apprenticeships programme moves under The Power of Events 1024 683 micebook.

The Events Apprenticeships programme is moving under the umbrella of The Power of Events, as the newly revised Level 3 Event Co-ordinator Apprenticeship Standard has been formally approved by the government.

The move is designed to support long-term talent development and help provide clearer pathways into the industry.

Following discussions with The Power of Events, the decision was made to bring the programme into their broader remit. This approach builds on the work already achieved and positions apprenticeships within a platform that has far wider reach and stronger visibility across the sector.

It creates a clearer opportunity for organisations to understand the role apprenticeships can play in workforce planning, while ensuring the programme continues to fit within the wider industry landscape.

This move also connects the programme with The Power of Events’ growing schools engagement work, helping create a more joined-up route from early awareness to professional entry.

Candice Kass will continue to support this work, helping maintain consistency and momentum as apprenticeships sit alongside other priorities within The Power of Events.

Simon Hughes, director, The Power of Events said: “As one of the routes into a career in events, apprenticeships are featuring much more in career planning. Sustaining the great work done to date and showcasing the opportunities that apprenticeships bring for employers fits the broader remit of The Power of Events perfectly.”

Richard Waddington, chair, Events Apprenticeships added: “I’d like to thank everyone across the industry who has supported and engaged with Events Apprenticeships. Apprenticeships offer government-funded training across a wide range of skills, and it’s been encouraging to see so many organisations start to embrace them. Joining The Power of Events gives us the chance to reach a wider audience and open opportunities for an even broader and more diverse pool of future talent.”

A refreshed standard shaped by industry; the newly approved Event Co-ordinator Standard reflects two years of collaboration across the industry. It includes a change in title from Event Assistant to Event Co-ordinator, recognising the scope and responsibility of the role in today’s market.

The updated standard offers employers a clear, structured pathway for early career development, helping teams plan future workforce needs and build capability in a sustainable, practical way.
