WHAT INDUSTRY IS SAYING ABOUT OUR GRADS
Thanks to CoEM for your excellence in skills development. [The student’s] ability to take on tasks from Day 1 has been outstanding, an absolute reflection of the depth of detailed education that she received during her course. Already she is an asset to our team.
Mandi Ford – Director Essential Solutions
Best thing about CoEM students is the high calibre of talent coming out of the college. Whether we’re offering volunteering roles, temporary paid roles, internships or permanent full time roles, we have no doubts that we’ll receive quality people who are polished, professional, entirely reliable and can be useful immediately.
Billie Cox – Event Management Professional
It was inspiring to see the high standard of professional, level of thought and practice that was demonstrated by your students. The level of professionalism and depth of knowledge shown by students is testament to the way CoEM operates.
Ruth Friedman – Events and Venue Professional
Trumpet Events has had many volunteers from CoEM over the past year. Each one has proven to be a valuable asset to our event teams. They are motivated and well prepared for life in the world of event management. 2 students have been offered internships. I have no hesitation in recommending any CoEM student to potential employers.
Trumpet Events, Melbourne
The level of the Major Project presentations were extremely high and demonstrates the high level of course content the students receive from the college. Each group had ideas that could definitely could be taken to market, proof that the course content is strong and leading the students in the right direction to commence their careers in events.
