Connect One is a statewide public relations outreach program centered around the belief that a small pledge can make a significant impact in a student’s career path. In a recent survey, we found that students are struggling to secure professional development opportunities as many Alabama-based companies continue working remotely, internships are cut back, and networking opportunities have shifted. To help students and recent grads during this challenging time, we are connecting them directly with PR professionals allowing them to learn how to effectively shift and move closer to a future communications career.
