OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATES AT CLEMENGER GROUP

Clemenger Communications is once again looking for the best marketing and communications graduates to take part in the Clemenger Communications Graduate Programme.
Now in its second year, the Clemenger Graduate Programme offers stand-out university graduates the opportunity to gain experience working on real accounts with real clients with leading firms across various marketing and communications disciplines - including public relations, advertising, direct marketing and sales promotion.
One of the participating companies is national public relations firm Porter Novelli. Sydney General Manager David Lumb, said that the graduate programme is a unique approach to meeting the growing need for integration across marketing disciplines.
"The increasing complexity and sophistication of marketing communications requires well-rounded professionals with an understanding of the total marketing mix. Our graduate programme allows us to train future leaders to see the broader picture," he said.
Selected as one of the first graduates to join the Clemenger Group under this scheme, Hollie Jenkins, a UTS Graduate, is now working as an Account Executive at Porter Novelli. She says that the experience has been invaluable.

"The Clemenger Graduate Scheme offered me the unique opportunity to gain hands-on training in advertising, media and public relations before deciding which discipline best suited my skills.
"Working at Porter Novelli, I have found myself frequently drawing upon my training in advertising and media when providing counsel to clients."
Julia Heaton is currently completing the Clemenger Program graduate traineeship and considers herself in a privileged position.
"After finishing my degree at CSU, earning a place in the Clemenger Graduate Programme this year has given me the best start to my career that I could have hoped for.
