I am using Event Manager and they have a custom post type of events, with a taxonomy of event-categories (separate from regular post categories). In that taxonomy I have created terms(?) or event categories, "Education" and "Research". I want a specific <div> to show up if a post is in the event-categories taxonomy with the term/category of "Education". The slug is "education" and the tag_ID is 8. Currently I'm trying to use this code snippet, but I'm not getting it. I know there's more to it, but I haven't been successful with other tutorials. Most are for category archives. I need it conditionally for single posts.

<?php
   if(in_category('education')) {
      echo '<div>test</div>';
   }
?>

in_category() is conditional tag for taxonomy 'category'. With custom taxonomies you should use has_term() conditional, first parameter is term to check for and second is taxonomy.

if ( has_term( 'education', 'event-categories' ) ){
    echo '<div>Test</div>';
}
