About the Job
At Becca, we believe that good communication can change the world, and the stories we tell impact the culture. We’re deeply invested in cultivating new talent as clients and, most importantly, as team members.
Becca’s Apprentice Program is a 4-month program (beginning in March) designed to train the next generation of creative agency professionals. This is an opportunity for postgraduate students to launch their careers in the hospitality sphere.
In this program, you’ll get the chance to work in a fast-paced environment alongside some of the biggest names in hospitality around the world. You’ll develop your media relations and writing skills while learning the intricacies of representing the best restaurants, hotels and CPG brands on the market. During the four months, you’ll get hands-on experience across a wide range of accounts, with the potential to transition to a full-time Account Coordinator at the end of the program, depending on feedback and agency needs.
