Your Very Own Fairy Godmother Wedding & Event Coordination was the
first coordination firm in the Central Texas area to accept interns.
We receive approximately 3-4 requests for internships each week
due to the increased popularity of the field. This industry has
become highly saturated and, in turn, an extremely competitive market
in recent years. It is increasingly difficult to get into the industry,
and experience is imperative. The fact that you are doing your research
tells me that you are moving in the right general direction.
Internships
The
internship program at Your Very Own Fairy Godmother lasts one
year; the internship positions are unpaid, but they are very flexible
in regards to scheduling. We choose from the hundreds of applicants
to schedule interviews for these positions as they come available.
Our internship program is difficult to enter due to the high volume
of applicants, but the experience is unparalleled. You will be
involved in as many events throughout the year as your schedule
allows, and you will experience the same level of exposure to
event planning and coordination as an assistant coordinator for
each of the events.
A certificate will be awarded upon internship completion, and
a letter of recommendation will be available.
To apply, please send your cover letter and resume to: internships@ownfairygodmother .com.
Apprenticeships
If
your interest and drive to enter the event planning industry exceeds
your patience for an opportunity as an intern, we offer apprenticeship
positions on a first come first served basis. We only accept one
Apprentice per event, and our apprenticeship program will involve
the complete planning, staging, event design and production of two weddings
or events. The schedule is flexible in that you are able to choose
which two event dates work best for you, but meetings and appointments
with clients are dependent upon the clients' schedules. Apprentices
will attend the final planning meeting with the clients, be involved
in the compilation of itineraries and emergency contact lists,
rehearsals, and day of coordination for each of the two events
that they choose. You will also be involved in as many events throughout the year as your schedule
allows, and you will experience the same level of exposure to
event planning and coordination as an assistant coordinator for
each of the events. There is a long list of other duties and knowledge
that you will experience and learn first hand throughout each
of those phases of planning.
A certificate will be awarded upon apprenticeship completion,
and the use of approved media may be included in your portfolio.
Apprenticeship program cost - $1,000 (Installment payments available upon request)
