Communications Internships

Learn How to Think Strategically

PRSA Silicon Valley's internship program is a training course that allows students the ability to think strategically.

Our interns learn basic principles of introspection to evoke personal curiosity and initiative. Once foundational knowledge is shared and implemented, they learn how to craft communication strategies that are cross-departmental.
