The Sales and Event Coordinator (SEC) Certificate is a comprehensive ten-month training program designed to prepare students for roles involving selling to clients, planning and implementing events for clients, and representing themselves with a sales mindset. 

Both sales and events rely on professionals who are skilled communicators and problem solvers within a fast-paced environment. This dual career program provides students with a unique combination of relatable skills attractive to a wide range of employers and industries. Graduates of the program will come away with the confidence to represent an organization, and expertise to provide sales and events services in a variety of fields.

Students will have the opportunity to apply and refine the skills they develop throughout the program in an unpaid work practicum experience at the end of the program. This hands-on experience will help students practice their skills in the workplace, connect them to potential future employers, and build real working experience before starting their careers.

Who it is for

Students (18 years and older) who are friendly, detail-oriented, and have strong people skills. These individuals are able to work in a busy environment while prioritizing the needs of the customer.

Work practicum

Qualifying students apply skills learned in the classroom and develop new skills, during a mandatory full-time, four-week work practicum with a local business/employer. As per IRCC, students must have a co-op work permit to be eligible for the work practicum. It is the student’s responsibility to apply for the co-op work permit at least four months before the practicum begins.

Work practicum is a mandatory component of this program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum. MITT does not guarantee practicum placements when students do not meet eligibility criteria (including having a valid co-op work permit) or when sufficient placements are not available. In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.

Policy Information

Applicants and students of the Sales and Event Coordinator program will be subject to MITT's admission, financial and withdrawal policies throughout the application process and duration of the program. Students will also be responsible to adhere to MITT’s academic policies such as attendance, academic integrity, safety, and appropriate conduct as outlined on the first day of the program.

Continuous Program Improvement

MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
