Summer Stars internship programme

Our Summer Stars internship programme, which launched in 2018, offers paid internships in agencies and in-house communications teams for BAME students, graduates and school leavers (18+).

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN - APPLY HERE!

The Summer Stars programme kicks off with a 3 day intensive PR & Communications bootcamp at the end of June. The boot camp provides our Summer Stars interns with the opportunity to build their knowledge of the industry, before heading out into the workplace.

You literally picked the PERFECT internship for me !!!! I'm loving it so much, everyone is so kind and welcoming and I'm learning so much (such a variety of clients and tasks). 

I've got a great buddy and line manager and they give me feedback regularly. The office culture and ethics of Porter Novelli Is really great too and in line with my own ideas and morals so it's been such a useful learning experience.
