Now is the Time to Train for a Career in Events – Be Part of the Solution

As the UK events industry continues its remarkable recovery and growth, a critical challenge has emerged – staff shortages across the sector. For those considering a career in events, this presents a rare and timely opportunity to step into an industry actively seeking skilled professionals.


According to Conference News,


“The UK events industry continues to grapple with staffing shortages”

...a situation placing increasing pressure on venues, organisers, and suppliers. From weddings to large-scale conferences, from sporting fixtures to luxury brand activations, the demand for trained, capable event professionals has never been higher.


At The Event School London, we believe that skills are the key to solving this challenge – and to unlocking career potential.
