Corporate Communications and Public Relations
Fanshawe’s Corporate Communication and Public Relations program is an intense one-year program designed to prepare college and university graduates to enter the exciting and challenging world of communications. Students will hone their writing and presentation skills, learn the latest desktop publishing and web design techniques and face the public relations and ethics challenges that will increase their communication related skills. A second-term field placement allows students to put these new skills to work. Students are encouraged to make business contacts through professional associations and by performing course work with a community focus. The curriculum is current, community minded, and connected to professional communicators. Graduates find work communicating in advertising and PR agencies, hospitals and health care, banking and insurance, the arts and media, small and large manufacturers, government, politics, and the not-for-profit sector. Job roles include writing, presenting, researching, facilitating, media relations, event planning, strategic planning and marketing communications. Opportunities for professional communicators occur in every employment sector. The traditional communication staple of strong writing combined with an emphasis on teamwork, progressive computer skills, and technological savvy gives graduates of this program a competitive edge. This program is suited to individuals with above-average writing skills, an outgoing personality and an ability to see solutions when others are focusing on problems. It’s hard work, with lots of assignments and deadlines to meet, but if you’re ready for the challenge, a world of career possibilities is waiting.
