This is a virtual insight programme.
Are you a school leaver (18+), undergraduate or graduate who is interested in understanding what PR is really about? Are you keen to learn about how to create viral social media content, how to build influencer campaigns or how your natural passions in fashion, politics or even climate change can be linked to a career in PR? If the answer is yes, then join our virtual insight programme and Step into PR!
About The Programme
You may not be sure what PR really is and the exciting opportunities it provides. Perhaps you may have an interest in areas such as politics, charities, fashion, technology, content creation, beauty or law (or even a combination of them all!) but are unsure of how these interests can connect to viable career options.
Designed to inspire and engage school leavers (18+), undergraduate and graduate students from a Black, Asian and/or ethnically diverse background, the Step into PR Programme is a 5-day virtual education programme that explores what a career within PR & Communications can look like for you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
With accessibility in mind, no experience is required to take part. The programme is completely virtual (involving only two-morning masterclasses a day) and you can be based anywhere in the UK! The programme is led by practitioners from across the industry who, over one week, immerse you into the working world of PR.
