Hear from our ACADEMY graduates

  • "This was a day filled with learning and inspiration as I had the privilege of attending a graduate session with TEMBO! TEMBO is truly a remarkable company, and I was blown away by their expertise in the events and marketing industry. It was an eye-opening experience that gave me valuable insights into this dynamic field."
    Izzy Carne
  • "Through TEMBO ACADEMY, I developed key skills that have been essential to my work at my current job, including event marketing, social media management, partnership coordination, digital campaigns, graphic design, and copywriting. The ACADEMY not only equips individuals with the necessary skills but also instils a passion for continuous development within B2B events marketing."
    Ava Kirk
  • "I liked it that they included the meaning of the name and TEMBO emblem in the presentation alongside the qualities they value in the company, as companies do not always do this. It was straight to the point and not sugar-coated, making it sound more truthful and authentic. I was also impressed that they included one of their employees’ success stories as an example, with relevant info such as their background, joining the ACADEMY, freelance work, permanent role, a day in the life, challenges, and advice to get started in the industry."
    Sarah Jane Nunez
