Design Department: The Design Department is in search of an Event Design Apprentice willing to learn the skill of Event Design from the bottom up. This entry-level design will participate in intensive and immersive training in event design and execution of event décor and lighting. The Event Design Apprentice will learn to meet and speak with the client, develop an event design, and quickly prepare a proposal using photos and pricing. Once the design goes to contract, the Event Design Apprentice will then be expected to communicate details of the event with the support team members for successful implementation. The Event Design Apprentice will often be required to be at the event location for implementation and breakdown, especially for the events that they have created. The ideal candidate has proven creativity, but also has business sense and can put on a salesperson hat. Furthermore, the Event Design Apprentice is also intuitive, friendly, well-spoken, confident but not arrogant, has attention to detail, a quick response time to inquiries, has reasonable physical strength, has a professional appearance, and excellent customer service. If you are a new graduate from college without a lengthy employment background, an individual new to the workforce, or someone who simply wants to learn a new career focused on creativity and fun, this will be your first stepping stone to your event career. Benefits and Expectations: This is an entry-level position, and pay begins at 21.00 per hour; time and a half for all hours over 40 in a week is paid.

After the end of the apprenticeship, a position as a staff Event Designer will be achieved. *This is not only a desk job; the candidate is expected to participate in manual labor for setup and teardown of events alongside team members to fully understand the nature of the business. *The willingness to drive or learn to drive company vehicles up to and including a box truck is required. * We are merely looking for teachable, motivated, hardworking, self-sufficient, team players, and pleasant individuals to join our team. The Event Design Apprentice will have some form of demonstrated creative inclination, such as drawing, painting, acting, scrapbooking, crafting, etc. If you have technical theater skills, that would be a plus but not a deal-breaker.
