Fleishman-Hillard – Washington, DC
FleishmanHillard offers college juniors, seniors, recent college graduates and graduate school students the opportunity to learn from leading public relations experts through a comprehensive internship program. The substantive work experience and solid professional training that interns gain through this program creates a strong foundation for their budding careers.
Each intern is assigned a point person and works primarily within one of FleishmanHillard’s practice groups ranging from consumer marketing to public affairs. Through work with professionals in their practice groups and around the office, interns experience multiple facets of the communications industry and engage with account staff on a variety of projects, including research, writing, event coordination and staffing, media relations and creative brainstorming.
Qualifications: Interns must be a college junior or above, with a minimum B grade average. Applicants should have excellent communications and critical-thinking skills, be able to multi-task and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
