The Role

The student internship program is a hybrid (in-person and work-from-home) learning and mentorship experience at J/PR. The ideal candidate knows the PR and/or social basics but is eager to jumpstart their career & is planning ahead for their future. The student internship program provides an integrated learning & training experience that immerses students in the fast-paced PR and social media marketing industry through interaction with staff, clients, and media. A student will dig into the basics and beginnings of successful Public Relations and Social Media campaigns. Students will get exposure to PR and social media strategy, research, media engagement, influencer relations, client brainstorming, community management, creative writing, and learning to collaborate & network with professionals. This experience requires reliability, foundational knowledge of PR/media studies or digital marketing through a college/university program, and a passion for the travel, hospitality, and lifestyle industries.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
