What is PRISM?
Public Relations, Inclusion, Support and Mentoring - or PRISM - is the mentoring programme brought to you by the PRCA's Race Ethnicity Equity Board (REEB).
Freely available to PR and communications professionals globally, PRISM offers a structured mentoring programme to practitioners across all sectors.
The programme has been created to provide meaningful support to Black, Asian and ethnically diverse professionals, with the aim of inspiring a generation of talent to finally progress to the highest levels of seniority.
How does it work?
Mentoring takes place over an initial six-month period and comprises six virtual or face-to-face meetings. All mentors will be required to attend a 90-minute training session before their pairing and all PRISM participants must abide by REEB’s founding principles based on respect, sensitivity and confidentiality.
