Each year, outstanding junior, senior, and graduate students, as well as recent graduates, are selected to attend the two-day annual IRTS Minority Career Workshop….
The event begins with a one-day orientation to the electronic media business at which attendees learn how to get a competitive edge in their job search.

In addition, participants hone their networking skills by attending a major IRTS industry event, at which they are assigned to a specific corporate table. The group is formally introduced from the podium to help get valuable conversations started.
Informal conversations with professionals are a great way to learn more about job opportunities and career tracks.
Conferees meet corporate CEOs and other industry leaders—invaluable connections and resources for the future.
The following day, conferees have an opportunity to interview with approximately 30 major communications companies and/or their subsidiaries.
 
In addition to discussing actual jobs, conferees are encouraged to use the interviews to learn more about career options within a company, as well as get constructive criticism on their resumes or interviewing skills. Whereas you might expect jitters, attendees confess that the interview portion of the conference is far more relaxed and enjoyable than you might think.
