Internships, Volunteering, and Certifications for a Career in Public Relations While there are three parts to this assignment, there is only one deliverable of a 2-3 page paper. Review the entire assignment before getting started. Part A: Conduct a search for internships or volunteer opportunities that pertain specifically to a career in public relations. Start by looking in your local area, and then expand to other areas if needed/desired. Consider the following questions as you conduct the search: What types of opportunities did you find? What specific qualities or skill set are organizations seeking in interns or volunteers? What personally interests you most or least in these opportunities? Part B: Conduct a search for professional certifications that might apply specifically to a career in public relations. Consider these questions as you conduct the search: What certifications are available in your professional area of interest? What are the sponsoring agencies of these professional certifications? How are the certifications obtained? Are exams, fees, or proof of education or work experience required? How might these certifications benefit you in your career? Part C: Write a 2-3 page paper that highlights your findings. Format all references according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.
