Free Event Management Programme Launched For Teens

A new programme has been launched to help teenagers learn the ins-and-outs of event management. The freshly conceived ignite programme is an Auckland-based 15-week course commencing next March for young people with a passion for music and events. Enrolments are open to people between 15-18 years of age.

The programme includes one-on-one mentoring from a music industry professional, seminars and workshops, as well as hands-on experience. At the end of the programme, participants will put their skills to the test by producing a music-based event under guidance of their mentors and the ignite team. On top of that, one deserving participant will be awarded the ignite Scholarship to study a Diploma in Music and Event Management at MAINZ (must meet entry criteria).

There are 10 placements available for 2016, and there is no cost to participate in the programme. Head over here for more information.
