Let's face it: the better you get at your job, the more easily you get bored at work. You’re just going through the motions and not learning anything new. Boredom can lead to burnout. Does this sound like you?
If you love what you do but you're not learning anything new, why not consider working in the venue industry?
What is the venue industry?
You've probably been to lots of events and venues in your life, but have you ever thought about how they are organised? Have you ever thought about all the people who had to work together to make it happen?
Being a part of the venue industry means working in any one of a number of entertainment venues. These can include:
- Sports stadiums
- Conference and exhibition centres
- Racetracks
- Showgrounds
- Concert halls and museums
- and more…
Whether you're looking for regular work or another casual pool to join, the venue industry is a great way to get new experiences in an exciting environment.
Why is working in the venue industry exciting?
Working in a venue means that you get to apply the skills you already have in new, interesting situations. No two days are the same. You might be working on a rock concert one week and a massive sports event the next. You will meet new people and encounter new situations at every event you’re a part of. You might even meet the stars of the show – imagine running into your favourite band or footballer backstage while you’re at work!

Not only that, but the skills you learn working in venues can travel with you. Most towns or cities have venues that need experienced, skilled staff to help them manage their events. Imagine being able to do what you love anywhere in the country, or in the world!
Who can work in the venue industry?
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a chef, a marketer, a tradie or a security guard, there are hundreds of roles were you have the skills to help make big things happen. You don’t need management or project experience to get started!
Whether you’re a casual worker looking for new opportunities or a full-time professional, the venue industry has room for you. You could be learning new skills and expanding your professional network with people who work in jobs you’ve never thought of before, all while learning more about yourself in a fast-paced environment.
