Summer 2027 Public Relations Internship

Location: New York Department: Public Relations

At Prosek Partners, the stories we tell impact the global economy.

Prosek’s Summer Internship Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in financial communications while beginning to build the skills needed for a career at a fast-paced, global communications firm.

Throughout the summer, interns will work alongside Prosek account teams supporting leading financial services, professional services, technology and B2B clients. Interns will contribute to meaningful client work while participating in structured training, mentorship and professional development designed to build a strong foundation in media relations, writing, account management and financial communications.
