"This course has given me so many different opportunities, not only in the sports industry but also in events work. I have loved all the practical work we got to do, as well as getting involved in school clinics and AFL game days. I've been playing footy for 11 years and coaching for 3 years so it was great to be involved with an AFL club that has helped women's football evolve as well as getting different cultures involved in the sports industry.”
“This course has been such an amazing experience for me. I’ve been able to explore many different avenues through this course from helping at Saint Edge clinics to assisting in organising the Guard of Honour on gamedays. I’ve really enjoyed all the hands-on placement that has been offered throughout the course.”
“As someone looking to further develop their coaching career, Holmesglen and St Kilda have given me ongoing support and a plethora of opportunities to help me begin that journey to the elite level. The course has been an amazing experience for myself, and I highly recommend to anyone who wants a role in a sporting environment to undertake this course."
“The Holmesglen Saints Diploma was an amazing one-year experience and the course provided with massive opportunity to network with internal staff which lead to my current position at the Saints. Even though we faced many challenges with lockdown during 2020 I was able to demonstrate great resilience all while being the inaugural class which was something real special to me.”
“The program provided many opportunities to learn from industry professionals in both sports and events. I can attribute my current career progression to the countless networking opportunities provided during the course. These have led me to take part in multiple Australian Grand Prix events and to hold the responsibility of leading a nationally recognised convention. This program allowed me to develop key skills that could be applied during the relevant sport and event placements. A highly recommended course if you are looking to pursue a career in either sport or event management.”
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the program. This unique program provided me with firsthand experience in the operations of an elite sporting organisation whist providing high quality curriculum in event management and sport. The hands-on experience I gained through field placements translated into valuable work opportunities with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation and the Victorian State Schools Spectacular, which solidified my passion of a career in events. Launching my career in event management couldn’t have been done without this course and my mentors”
