Internship Industries

The Internship Placement Process

Event Planning

Event planning is a fast-paced industry the demands attention to detail and a high level of organization. Event planners organize fundraisers, music festivals, weddings, private parties, corporate product launches, and other elaborate events. The event planning industry has grown enormously in the last 10 to 15 years and continues to grow today.  An event planner may be involved in selecting an event site, contracting vendors, creating event promotions, and conducting research for the event.

As a CE event planning intern you may be arranging the décor, food and entertainment or creating guest lists and working “the door.”  Event planning duties often include running the event on the day of the celebration, interacting with the host, bride or special guest. As an intern you could research event sites, work on advertising and promotions for the event, coordinate logistics, and much more.

Past CE Event Planning Interns have:

  • Attended client meetings and worked on client proposals
  • Created press kits             
  • Helped to present prospective event details to clients 
  • Assisted with preparing materials for events
  •  Worked with people-team work and communication to make the event come together successfully
  • And much, much more...

Testimonials

I worked for a major media group. My mentor gave me a lot of independence and trust. I had a lot of my own projects in the media marketing department, including developing website content. I did a lot more than getting coffee and doing busy work. I learned a lot!
