Summary:

THIS EVENT WILL BE VIRTUAL.

PRCA Midlands Group

Event Type: Group Event

Event Overview

Are you currently studying, or considering studying, public relations, media or communications? Have you recently graduated or are you actively looking for employment?

Our session panellists will provide insight, as well as tips and advice, ranging from what’s on offer in higher education and the transition to employment; applying for jobs; job applications; and opportunities and experiences once you’ve got a foot in the door.

It will be an honest and open discussion and won’t always be easy listening – expectations don’t always match the reality we’re faced with.

The panel session will be followed by a Q&A.
