The fast-tracked Public Relations program offered at Durham College provides grads with a competitive edge. The fast-paced nature of the program helps students to develop the fundamental skills needed to manage multiple priorities while delivering impactful and measureable results. With a strong emphasis on writing, digital media, event planning and media relations grads leave the program highly skilled and job ready. The not for profit and corporate placements are invaluable to gaining real-world experience, allowing grads to transfer these skills effectively to the private, public or not for profit sectors. Since graduating in 2007, I have progressed through a variety of communications roles, and now hold a senior communications position within a municipality. I continue to support the program through the advisory committee and placement program, and I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to get started in the public relations industry.
