Careers in Communications
A free virtual event for students
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.

WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD ATTEND?
Here’s what past attendees are saying about Ragan and PR Daily Events!
Highly practical and relevant for communications leaders. The real-life examples and guidance on positioning comms as a strategic enabler of AI were especially valuable.
AI is a scary world, but Ragan broke down how to face the Stephen King-like fears of horror by embracing it with safeguards and rails.
Connecting the new AI technologies with communication is crucial, this is why this session organized by Ragan is so extremely important. I appreciated the high quality level of this session and I am grateful for all the information exchanged.
I feel more prepared, confident and optimistic about experimenting with AI in communications work.
Amazing experience to hear from leaders in the AI/Comms space about what is taking place - Get onboard or get left behind.
The Center for AI Strategy brings together programming, research, and practical guidance to help communications and marketing leaders adopt AI with confidence.
Our team combines editorial leadership, operational excellence, and hands-on AI strategy experience to help members navigate adoption, governance, training, and day-to-day implementation.
