New partnership: Messe Berlin and Hill+Knowlton Strategies provide joint training for interns


Berlin – WEBWIRE

First Messe Berlin training course to start in June
Exchange programme offers comprehensive insight into everyday PR work
Training programme closely aligned with DAPR criteria

As of 1 June 2018, for the first time the Messe Berlin press office will begin training two interns. A comprehensive training programme has been set up that is closely aligned with criteria stipulated by the German Public Relations Academy (DAPR). Central to this undertaking is a partnership with the agency Hill+Knowlton Strategies. The trainees will guest with each partner company respectively for a month, where they will gain an insight into every aspect of PR work. With this project, Messe Berlin is underlining its commitment towards training and is following the most recent recommendations of communications specialists and PR practitioners. Participation in an intern exchange programme is considered the best possible way to obtain professional communications skills. Both companies will also work closely together to provide interns with theoretical knowledge.

”With its wide-ranging portfolio of in-house and guest events, Messe Berlin offers interns broad-based training and a comprehensive insight into everyday PR work“, said Emanuel Höger, director of Corporate Communications at Messe Berlin GmbH. ”We are delighted to be working with Hill+Knowlton Strategies, a strong and experienced partner. Together we can provide PR newcomers with ideal conditions for launching their careers.“

”Hill+Knowlton Strategies has successfully trained PR interns for many years“, said Rüdiger Maeßen, CEO of Hill+Knowlton Strategies. ”The partnership with Messe Berlin enables us to further improve the quality of our training. The communications industry is undergoing rapid change. The more versatile the training for our employees, the more we can help to shape that change.”

The intern training programme systematically meets all the requirements of a contemporary and wide-ranging PR course. In addition to practical work with different press and public relations teams the interns will also take part in 13 seminars in Berlin und Frankfurt. Topics will include digital & social media communication, conceptualisation training and running campaigns. The first training course ends on 31 December 2019.
