Able to provide an internship opportunity?

CPRS Toronto is very committed to supporting students and their career pathways as they enter the field of communications and public relations.  Many post secondary programs require students to have some kind of industry experience as a requirement of their programs, but most are not aware of the opportunities available. An internship enables students to gain experience and exposure to real world scenarios, and employers benefit not only from the extra team support, but from fresh perspectives and competencies with tools and technology that students bring. If you or your organization are able to supply a short-or long-term, paid internship this coming year, please let us know term details by emailing Lois Marsh and we’ll include them in our job boards. Let’s help our new practitioners be set up for success!
