Are you a hospitality/event planning major in need of a flexible internship that allows you to gain impressive real-world experience while working around an unpredictable work schedule?
Easy Event Planning’s internship program allows event planning majors to make contacts, learn a great deal, have quantifiable results on their resumes and be viewed as experts in the field before they even graduate.
You can optimize the Easy Event Planning directory in a target market, which will allow you to become familiar with all the different types of businesses that make up the event industry. You can also create high-profile content at our site, like wedding guides, e-books and blog articles. You can learn important aspects of digital marketing, like search engine optimization. These skills will allow you to stand far apart as a job applicant and can assist you in creating your own business one day.
Our CEO personally teaches students an entire digital marketing course. We’ve had countless students optimize keywords to position #1 on Google. You can see all the details on our internship offerings here.
Students may also have a chance to do virtual event planning. Users at our site can submit a quote request for an upcoming event, in which they indicate the types of services they need. This might include a venue, caterer, decorator, limousine, etc. Vendors can purchase that lead to communicate directly with the user. Because our platform is new, many vendors aren't yet aware of our site. Students can research great vendors in an area and reach out to them to see if they're available for the event. They can give the vendors the lead at no charge if they would allow you to create a profile on their behalf. This gives the students great experience in virtual event planning, educates you about all the types of vendors people could need for an event and allows you to even do some networking. You could help a vendor win a contract for an event that saves their business right now.
EEP is a technology company that is changing the way events are planned across the US. Users can find the services they need (we have the largest event directory in the US), use helpful planning tools, and get great ideas from our blog – all in one site. They will soon be able to request tips for their own event at no charge as well. The site is poised to become very high-profile in the coming years.
This is a 100% virtual (unpaid) internship and you have a great deal of flexibility when you work. If your work with event vendors creates revenue at the site, you are commissioned on that revenue but that is just one potential project. Communication will take place via Zoom, Skype video, audio, and chat.
