Event Coordinator Apprentice

Do you dream of working professionally with events that make a difference for citizens, associations and communities?

The Events Unit in Gentofte Municipality works professionally with planning, implementation and evaluation of the municipality's events – always with a focus on the event's purpose. You will become part of a team of five employees who work in a structured and project-oriented manner with clear frameworks for time, budget and responsibility and with a strong focus on the good audience and participant experience.

As an event apprentice you will have a broad interface and collaborate with both internal colleagues and external actors. You will become part of a professionally strong environment and gain insight into the entire event process – from idea and planning to execution and evaluation.

Event Coordinator – a profession with both overview, relationships and attention to detail

Event work in a municipality is not only about the day itself when the event runs. It is just as much about planning, coordination, collaboration and responsibility.

As an event coordinator apprentice you will gradually be trained in

• thinking in wholes and target groups
• keeping an overview of many tasks at the same time
• collaborating with colleagues, volunteers, suppliers and partners
• and translating ideas into concrete events that can be implemented in practice within given frameworks and budgets

You will therefore work creatively, administratively and practically – often in close collaboration with others.

What do we offer?

As an event coordinator apprentice in Gentofte Municipality we offer

• A versatile apprentice education, where you follow the entire event process from start to finish
• An experienced and professional team that prioritizes training and sparring
• Opportunity for gradually more responsibility and independent tasks
• Insight into event work in a municipal context
• A workplace where collaboration and quality are highly valued

You will have an apprentice supervisor whom you can always turn to for support and guidance. We place great emphasis on creating a safe and inclusive environment, where you can develop both professionally and personally. As your professional development progresses you will receive independent tasks and areas of responsibility that match your skills and interests.
