GOVET as a training company
27.05.2024
GOVET has been training its own event managers since 2018. This enables the team to maintain a high level of training expertise and also allows due consideration to be given to the perspectives of those affected during discussions on good training conditions with partners.
Jessica Müller started her third year of training in the occupation of events manager at GOVET in 2023. For her, this began with an external practical placement in the area of events technology. Jessica has been reinforcing the team with her commitment and drive ever since. She also regularly appears before international guests in order to report on dual training from a trainee’s point of view.
Training at GOVET enables me to link my passion for events management with my interests in an international context.

This delivers huge added value for everyone involved. At GOVET, we enhance our own expertise within the field of company-based training. Trainees learn in an exciting and varied international environment, and foreign partners are able to recognise that dual training offers a “return on investment” even during the period of training itself.
Our first trainee arrived at GOVET in 2018 to complete her second year of training with us. The usual approach at BIBB is for trainees to pass through different departments in order to gain the broadest possible expertise. She is now at BIBB’s Programme Department, where she is helping to ensure that GOVET remains abreast of national VET innovations.
Jessica Müller is the fourth young person to complete one or two years of their training in events management at GOVET. In addition to her final examinations in April (written) and June (practical), she supports us in receiving foreign delegations and in organising and conducting events in 2024.
In recent years, three pupils from the Cologne Business School have also spent longer-term internships at GOVET as part of their retraining programmes leading to the qualification as office management assistants.
Training is not a sure-fire success and also entails additional work, this is far outweighed by its added value. And, at least at our own institution, we are able to take active steps to counter the skilled worker shortage.
