Finding and nurturing PR talent is important. We run a comprehensive work experience programme throughout the year, supporting graduates from local universities and colleges, where candidates are invited to join us for one or two weeks. It’s a tough time for graduates and we’ve been happy to help them gain valuable work experience. During their time at Corixa, they are involved across all areas of our consultancy from brainstorming sessions and research to drafting press releases and helping organise events.
The standard of participants in the programme has been extremely high and the feedback from those who have joined us has been very positive: “Spending time with PR professionals has been a great experience.” James Watts “I enjoyed putting into practice what I’ve been learning through university.” Radhika Nathwani “I was fully involved with work and not ‘shadowing’ which was fantastic.” Kristy Mooney “I felt really welcomed and got some great ideas of what PR is all about.” Gemma Ellis “Felt like part of the team from day one. Felt valued and was given good tasks.” Peter Smith
I’m afraid we are currently fully booked and are unable to take any further requests for 2011
