Public Relations Intern Jobs in Raleigh: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a public relations intern job in Raleigh?
The strongest entry point in Raleigh is targeting the city's technology and life sciences companies clustered around Research Triangle Park, the healthcare networks centered Downtown, and the PR and communications agencies serving North Hills and Midtown clients. Candidates who can show campus media experience, a portfolio of written pitches or press materials, and familiarity with Raleigh's local media outlets gain a clear edge over applicants with only generic credentials.
Which companies hire public relations interns in Raleigh?
Employers hiring public relations interns in Raleigh right now include North Carolina State University, WakeMed Health & Hospitals, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Raleigh's market includes a mix of tech companies, hospital systems, universities, and boutique communications agencies, all of which regularly bring on interns to support media relations, content, and community engagement work.
Are there remote public relations intern jobs in Raleigh?
Yes, though public relations intern roles tend to be more on-site than fully remote because media outreach, event support, and client-facing tasks benefit from in-person collaboration. About 33% of public relations intern openings tied to Raleigh are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with the most common arrangement being hybrid schedules. Writing, media monitoring, and social content work are the tasks most often handled remotely within Raleigh-based roles.
How can I get a public relations intern job in Raleigh with little or no experience?
The most realistic starting point in Raleigh is applying to internship programs at NC State University's communications department, local PR agencies in the Glenwood South and North Hills areas, and the marketing teams of Raleigh's many growth-stage tech startups, which often take on interns with strong writing samples even without formal experience. Building a short portfolio of press releases, pitches, or social campaigns drafted for student organizations or local nonprofits makes a meaningful difference in a competitive applicant pool.
Which industries hire the most public relations interns in Raleigh?
Most public relations intern openings in Raleigh sit in Education, Hospitality & Tourism, and Technology & Software, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Raleigh's concentration of technology firms in Research Triangle Park, major healthcare systems, and universities creates consistent demand for communications support across all three sectors throughout the year.
