Intern Event Management

PDX35988 1

Your Impact

  • You support project managers throughout the entire operation: from creating schedules and drafting scripts to preparing budgets.
  • You help deliver events with strong preparation and flawless execution.
  • You take ownership of concrete workstreams, such as volunteer management, athlete logistics, medal ceremonies, and visitor communication.
  • You coordinate with sports federations, teams, suppliers, and venues to ensure everyone is aligned and moving in the same direction.

About You

  • You are currently pursuing a degree in event management, sports marketing, sport studies, or a related field.
  • You are looking for a graduation internship of approximately one year, with personal development at its core.
  • Organizing is second nature to you: even with ten (goal)balls in the air, you stay calm and keep an overview.
  • You are driven, eager to learn, proactive, flexible, and solution-oriented.
  • You dream of organizing the biggest and most complex events in the future.
  • You have a strong affinity with Paralympic elite sports.
  • Languages: fluent in Dutch and proficient in English; French is a strong plus.
  • Skilled in Microsoft 365.
  • You live within 45 minutes of Oss.
  • Availability: full-time from September 2026 to summer 2027.
  • A driver’s license (B) is a plus.

What You’ll Gain

  • A challenging internship where you’ll contribute to a European Championship and to an international event abroad that is three times larger—in number of participants—than the Paralympic Games in Milan-Cortina.
  • Intensive guidance from an experienced event manager.
  • Collaboration with multiple departments, giving you insight into all facets of a top-level sports event.
  • An internship allowance and travel reimbursement—because unwinding after a dynamic workweek shouldn’t come at your own expense.
  • Working in a dynamic core team alongside many external partners, offering the ideal environment to build your professional network.

Initiator Team TOC

‘Met de verschillende internationale bonden overleggen we over de mogelijkheden of het mogelijk is om (overdekte) outdoor centre courts te bouwen in het centrum van Rotterdam om ook daar de verschillende sporten naar het publiek te brengen. We deden dit voor de Wereldkampioenschappen Para Handboogschieten in 2019 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch waar we genoten van volle tribunes De feedback die we kregen van atleten, publiek en pers was geweldig. Dat is waar we naar streven. Niet alleen voor 2023 maar ook voor 2027 en 2031, wanneer we dit evenement naar een andere Europese hoofdstad willen brengen’, vult Eric Kersten (initiator van evenementenorganisator Team TOC) aan.
