Student and Young Practitioner Month in November 2021:

Helping shape the next generation of leaders in the PR profession

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to spotlight the critical role that we as PR and communications professionals play. As more organizations slowly transition to the changing workplace landscape, communicating effectively to their respective stakeholders is necessary to ensure that the business will be able to adapt and thrive in the new future.

It is in this light that we welcome and celebrate the next generation of PR leaders and the contributions that they can make to our profession. This November, Global Alliance will be providing them avenue to learn world-class PR practices from and share ideas and experiences with our fellow members. We seek to forge a truly global connection as we are joined by communication practitioners from North America to Asia, Middle East to Latin America and Africa to Europe.

Through this initiative, we hope not only to give the students and young practitioners access to activities that will expand their knowledge and their networks but in the process, also help them develop greater appreciation of the profession and a deeper understanding of the important role that they will play once they join the industry.

As part of the activities, there will be an online panel discussion among practitioners and professors and students from all over the world. The participants will include individuals who are studying PR and Communications. PR and communications specialists with less than 5 years of professional experience are also encouraged to join.

We warmly invite all member associations, organizations and colleges to sign up and participate in the Student & Young Practitioner Month this November 2021. We hope you could share this exciting news to all your members, faculty and students and together, let us show our younger practitioners that ours is an industry that values them and allows them to flourish even early on in their careers.
