There were very few courses specifically designed for the industry for a long time. It wasn\u2019t something that you went to school for and often wasn\u2019t even on the career radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon graduation, many \u201cfell into it\u201d rather than specifically seeking it out. People who went to school for business, marketing and hospitality often found the industry a good fit for their education and skill set. To those on the outside, it seemed like a great business and a fun job. And even though it wasn\u2019t what you went to school for, you knew you would be able to apply the practical education you just spent years acquiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_School_%E2%80%93_What_You_Need_to_Know\"><\/span>Event Planning School \u2013 What You Need to Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to an Event Planning School can increase your knowledge and give you the edge you need in an extremely competitive job market.

And while there wasn\u2019t a lot of choice previously, there are now colleges, business schools and industry organizations that offer different courses for someone looking for a career in event planning. In-class or at home? Career college or business school? Full or part time? How do you know what\u2019s right for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a word\u2026research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking at event planning or accounting, medicine or photography, you should always consider your options.
