If you’re considering a career in communications, you’ve come to the right place. At WPR, we are passionate about our people. Spotting and nurturing talent is at the heart of what we do and we are big believers in creating opportunities for young people to fulfil their career and personal aspirations.

We’re proud to say that 48% of our staff began their careers with us, joining WPR as graduates or account executives. In fact, our managing director, Jane Ainsworth, arrived fresh from university…proof that there are no limits.

Our Graduate Pathfinder series – five free webinars running during November 2021 – has been created to help anyone who thinks a future in communications, PR, social media or marketing might be for them. You’ll hear from recent graduates about their experiences of starting work and from experienced professionals who will share their expertise.

Combining insight with practical advice, we’ll guide you through the raft of disciplines within this fascinatingly varied industry. Furthermore, we will offer a glimpse into what these careers really entail, along with pointers to make sure you get noticed in a competitive recruitment market.
