School is in session, even if you’re no longer in college.
PR pros looking to stay ahead of future trends related to their work can continue to be a student while balancing a full-time job.
Even if you don’t have a ton of extra time in your schedule, here are ways to integrate learning opportunities:
Time commitment: Minimal
1. Read trend stories and industry blogs.
While scanning the news, read stories about industry trends and incorporate industry blogs as your go-to resources. It’s an easy way to stay relevant with what’s happening in the industry. Knowledge adds up incrementally throughout the week.
2. Network to learn from friends and other communicators.

These conversations can help you think about tools or solutions you can implement, and you can identify opportunities you might not have previously known.
3. Subscribe to educational resources.
