Ragan Free Webinar

Careers in Communications

A free virtual event for students

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 6-7 p.m. ET

Thinking about a career in communications but not sure where to start?

Join Ragan for a live conversation with senior communications professionals. They'll share how they got started, their day-to-day, skills for the future including AI and what they wish they'd known as students.

What you'll hear about:

Our panelists will cover where the job market stands right now, how AI is changing the field, which skills are worth building while you're still in school, and what it really takes to land your first job. Panelists will also share stories from their careers, the kind of real-world experiences that don’t show up in a textbook.

Careers explored on this panel include:

  • Internal communications
  • Public relations
  • Social media
  • Human resources and employee engagement communications
  • AI in communications
  • Digital communications, marketing and more.

Bring your questions.

The event closes with an open Q&A, so come ready to ask the panel about the field, the job search, or their own career paths.
