Liquid has launched a series of virtual work experience sessions for sixth form and university students, which will take place in February 2021.
The two sessions, ‘An Introduction to PR’ and ‘An Introduction to Social and Digital’, aim to give students from across the Channel Islands and UK valuable understanding of and experience in the communications industry.
Endorsed by the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA), the sessions will be hosted virtually by Liquid’s junior team members, who are based in Birmingham. The team will provide participants with useful career insights; from what it’s like working in communications to how best to improve employability and secure their first role in the profession.
The two sessions will take place on 15th and 17th February, between 2pm and 4pm over Zoom. All students taking part will receive a certificate as proof of the experience.
Liquid’s Channel Islands director, Lisa Downes, said: “We are very excited to be able to give students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience remotely. As a company, we passionately believe in training and development and support school leavers and university students each year, through mentoring, placements and our own graduate recruitment programme, Source.
“We appreciate that the pandemic has made it difficult for many young people to secure invaluable work experience. This is our way of providing guidance and advice as they make important career choices, as well as something tangible to put on their CV”.
Students can book their place on the work experience sessions via Eventbrite here.
