This study examines the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) students' views on event management training's career value. As the event management industry grows and diversifies, understanding students' views on event management skills is crucial to preparing them for successful careers. Preliminary results show that BSOA students value event management training for their careers. These skills boost their employability and open doors to diverse career paths. Event management skills are useful in many office administration roles, hence they prefer event management training. They believe such training would give them practical skills for their future careers. Event management courses with theoretical foundations, practical exercises, and real-world event planning and execution were preferred. The university can better prepare event management graduates for the changing job market by aligning the curriculum with students' needs and expectations. These insights help other institutions and educators understand event management training skills from the perspective of office administration students.
