For the fourth consecutive year, PRSSA is partnering with Finn Partners, one of the fastest-growing global, independent marketing and communications agencies in the world, to present FINN Partners - Partners for Diversity: A PR & Marketing Career Preview. Selected participants in this program, open to students of traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, will learn more about the inner workings of a global communications agency and the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in public relations. They will also have the opportunity to work with a FINN mentor. Students who complete the program will have an opportunity to apply for upcoming internship positions at FINN. The application deadline has been extended to March 1 at 9 AM EST.
The virtual programming for the career preview will be held the week on March 18-20 and will only require a small-time commitment over a few days. While recordings will be shared, participants are strongly encouraged to join live to capture as much of the conversation and insights as possible. Students selected can expect the following and more.
- To be assigned to a FINN Partners mentor.
- To attend virtual sessions led by FINN Partners top leaders.
