Third time’s a charm: Pearl Academy returns this April
We’re excited to announce that our third Pearl Academy is well underway! Behind the scenes we’ve been updating and tweaking our work experience day to empower individuals looking to enter the PR and communications industries.
At Pearl Comms, we know how difficult it is to obtain work experience and enter the industry, so we crafted this day to provide individuals with an insight into the profession and life working at an agency.
Tailored for people looking for insight in the industry, the full-day event features a programme covering key disciplines of the profession, from media liaison and writing to social media and branding – aimed to answer all the questions you have about a career in PR and communications. Attendees will also be given the opportunity to network with our teamand receive guidance on work experience and interview preparation throughout the day.
If you’re thinking of applying, but aren’t sure what to expect, hear from previous attendees below:
- “It was so informative learning how PR works in action, I think it’s hard to understand the profession without hands-on experience and insight like this.”
- “It was way more interactive than I expected – and less daunting – everyone was so nice and friendly.”
- “All the speakers were excellent in conveying the different elements and techniques of working day-to-day in PR and communications”
- “The Pearl Academy exceeded my expectations. I had so many questions about PR and really wanted to understand the industry and throughout the day I got a clearer view of what it’s like to work in PR and communications.”
The next Pearl Academy will take place on April 9, between 10am and 4pm at our office in Alpha Tower, Birmingham. To apply, email your CV and a short paragraph telling us why you’d love to be a part of the Pearl Academy to academy@pearl-comms.com by the 17th March 2025.
