Placement with a purpose

EWG Academy is a ground breaking vehicle for students and tertiary institutions alike. The Academy provides our tertiary partners, as well as their students and graduates, a robust program of experiences that compliments their curriculum and enable candidates to gain relevant industry training, certificates and most importantly, casual work, until they are qualified to gain full time employment in the industry. Our bespoke pathway program prepares those in our Academy for the rigours of the industry through practical and theoretical experiences, whilst building their networks. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with all of our tertiary partners to ensure our Academy continues to provide their students with a unique edge to assist them in their transition into successful full time roles.

WHOWEARE

PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE

Event Workforce Group (EWG) is an Australian-born, globally-focussed staffing and technology solutions business for the event, sport and entertainment industry. Born out of an opportunity to bridge the gap between motivated tertiary students and graduates seeking relevant industry experience, and employers struggling to find suitable experienced candidates for full time roles. EWG is now an integral conduit for the industry, connecting high quality emerging talent with employers nationwide.

After five years of laying a foundation as Australia’s most progressive, bespoke staffing agency for our industry, we have now expanded and formalised other key areas of our business – transforming our vision into a reality to form the Event Workforce Group. Our mission is to become the world’s most comprehensive event workforce solutions business in our key markets of Australia, USA and the UK – and our strategic plan, anchored by our new divisions, will provide us with the scale to achieve this.

EWG Talent is a staffing agency like no other - uniquely tailored to the events, sport, and entertainment industry. We provide motivated and experienced staff (known as ‘Workforcers’) to events in all shapes and sizes, Australia wide. From staff to manage brand activations, event operations, ticketing, hospitality and merchandising crews, through to our more experienced ‘Hired Gun’ contractors and full time candidates for ongoing roles. With over 20,000 Workforcers nationwide, our ability to provide not only the number of staff needed but the skill sets and experience necessary to get the job done, deems us unmatched in the market. Our talent truly are the heartbeat of the Australian event, sports and entertainment casual and full time workforce – currently over 50 EWG Talent alumni are in full time roles across the industry – and many are hiring our current crop to execute events with them – something we love to see!

EWG Technology is a world class series of digital event workforce management software products, designed to assist with registration, online training and rostering for large scale events. Active globally, EWG Technology provides major event clients, and their staff and volunteers alike, with a bespoke online resourcing platform, known as ‘Rosterfy’, which is revolutionising the scheduling of mass participation in events. To date, clients include upcoming 2018 Minnesota Super Bowl, Tough Mudder Globally, the World Masters Games and both the Rugby League and Netball World Cups here in Australia. We look forward to expanding our digital capabilities further, and combining this outstanding service with our EWG Talent offering globally in the future.

OUR OFFERING

Whilst the Academy has proven to be a critical step in the pathway of emerging talent in the industry, it also serves as an integral avenue for tertiary institutions seeking to produce and transition students into successful industry careers.

For Academy members, known as Workforcers, access to a central portal that is constantly replenished with shift and training opportunities, allows them to supplement their studies with ‘job ready’ skills and experience.

At the Academy we have the ability to report back to all tertiary institutions partners on the progress of their students, capturing all of their achievements: from qualifications, to hours worked, to skill sets gained and more.

For the past six years we have worked closely with over 200 tertiary institutes to bring the EWG Academy opportunity to thousands of students, bridging the experience and opportunity gap between tertiary study and full time industry roles - with meaningful, enriching casual work that provides genuine momentum and progress for careers. A pathway program of milestones prepares those in our Academy like no other industry body, for full time placement.
