The PR industry continues to grow and many agencies are seeing the value on running a formal grad scheme to attract the brightest and best new talent.
The ever-awesome Ben Cotton over at Social Web Thing has once again done a fantastic job of compiling a post on PR Graduate Schemes from some of the best agencies in the UK.
But with more competition than ever, you may need to differentiate yourself from the pack. Why not find out about volunteering with Bright One and you’ll be able to add that little extra to your CV that really shows you are one of the best!
And if you’re a PR agency looking to promote your grad scheme, just get in touch and we’ll add you to the list.

Where to list your volunteering opportunities
Bright One is busy, busy, busy as usual. We’ve got lots of exciting charities looking for our support and we always need to find lots of high quality volunteers (as many charities and non-profit organisations like us us do…).
We regularly list our current volunteering opportunities, as well as retain a general application for volunteers not sure about what project they’d like to help on.
But where else can you list volunteering roles to attract more volunteers for specific positions, and generally?
We’ve compiled a list of places where you can find and promote volunteering opportunities below. Got a site to add? Let us know in the comments!
