The Communications Group, a full-service marketing and public relations firm based in Little Rock, announces the agency’s CGXperience Residency Program. This new program is an extension of the agency’s CGXperience, furthering the agency’s commitment to mentor the next generation of communications professionals and prepare them for future employment.
ComGroup’s residents remain with the agency for a full year and work closely with the PR team to build skills in communication and leadership. They will also play an active role in planning and managing the agency’s annual ComGroup Classic event. Students who complete the CGXperience are eligible to apply for the residency program.
“Our internship program is a unique experience and it’s exciting to see it grow,” said Lora Mosley, ComGroup Public Relations Specialist and Internship Coordinator. “This new component brings our interns even more opportunities to gain real-world professional experience working at an agency and with clients.”
Braden Jones is the agency’s inaugural Resident. Jones, a senior at Arkansas Tech University, recently completed his CGXperience as the Spring 2023 public relations intern. He is expected to graduate in May 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism with an emphasis in public relations from ATU. He currently serves as ATU’s Public Relations Student Society of America chapter vice president, previously serving as president, and is a member of the university’s Presidential Leadership Cabinet.
“The CGXpereince internship opportunity provided valuable insight into the public relations industry,” Jones said. “I am excited to have the opportunity to continue learning and developing my professional skills from the ComGroup team through the new CGXperience Residency Program during my senior year.”
