PR Academy’s 2016 ‘Trends Survey’ researched students’ views as practising communicators on professional qualifications, their professional experiences and their training needs and priorities.

The study examined:

  • Students’ reasons for studying
  • Skills gaps
  • Employer funding for qualifications

For 2016, the survey was extended to look at how communicators perceive their employers’ use of social media, and whether influencing senior managers/clients about the value that PR has as a strategic function is a significant challenge for them.
