Hi everyone,

I am looking for a PR internship. I work in marketing and I am currently studying PR and comms at McGill University. Can anyone guide me to a website, or to any networking events that anyone knows of near the montreal area? That would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Burson has a great summer internship program, but has already closed the application process for this year.

You could look for your local PRSA chapter and join while you are still a student. There is a reduced rate. You may be able to network and find something on their job boards or by attending some of their webinars. They also have a mentorship program you could look into. I personally feel like the job board dried up the last few years. Most the internships I've seen are coming to a close for hiring for this summer. I'm not sure about anything directly in your area but if your college has a job board for students it may be helpful. Handshake is another place you can look as they usually have internships and hire college students. At least these were things recommended to me, Personally, I applied for 3 internships while in college and didn't get any and my college was located in Ohio. I live in PA. Our college job board wasn't helpful for me. I graduated a year ago and haven't even been able to get an entry-level job in PR. So, I wish you the best.
