Like many university students, Jenna Fayad wondered how she would find meaningful employment after graduating with a degree in English and French literature from Western University.
“I didn’t want to pursue a career in teaching or journalism, but felt like there might be a future for me in communications,” the 23-year-old Fayad says.
She decided to continue her studies with a Post-Degree Diploma in Public Relations at Western Continuing Studies (WCS).
“I knew I needed a specialized skillset and recognized WCS as the place to learn from real-world practitioners,” says Fayad. She also knew a few people who had previously completed the program. “They all spoke extremely highly of it.”
