Public Relations Intern Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a public relations intern in Wisconsin?

The most direct path is enrolling in an accredited communications, public relations, or journalism program at a Wisconsin university such as UW-Madison, Marquette University, or UW-Milwaukee, which all have strong industry ties and faculty-connected internship pipelines. Wisconsin does not require a state-issued license for PR work, so employers focus on portfolio samples, AP Style fluency, and relevant coursework or campus media experience when selecting interns.

Which companies hire public relations interns in Wisconsin?

Companies currently hiring public relations interns in Wisconsin include State Farm, Advocate Aurora Health, and bvk, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Wisconsin's mix of Fortune 500 headquarters, large regional healthcare systems, and established nonprofits means internship openings appear across several sectors beyond a single dominant industry.

Which Wisconsin cities have the most public relations intern jobs?

Milwaukee, Madison, and West Allis consistently post the most public relations intern openings in Wisconsin. Milwaukee leads because it is home to major corporate headquarters and agency offices, Madison follows as the seat of state government and a large university research community, and Green Bay draws openings from its sizable healthcare and manufacturing employers who maintain active communications teams.

Are there remote public relations intern jobs in Wisconsin?

Yes, and they're more available than in many fields, since a significant portion of PR work involves writing, pitching, and digital content that can be done off-site. About 40% of public relations intern openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting how adaptable the role has become post-pandemic. Media monitoring, social scheduling, and drafting tasks are the functions most commonly performed remotely.

How can I get hired as a public relations intern in Wisconsin with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry point is applying through your university's communications or journalism department, which often maintains direct pipelines to Wisconsin employers before positions are publicly posted. UW-Madison's School of Journalism and Mass Communication and Marquette's Diederich College both facilitate employer connections for students with no prior professional experience. Campus media roles at student newspapers, radio stations, or athletic departments serve as direct substitutes for agency experience, and a short portfolio of writing samples or a social campaign project gives hiring managers something concrete to evaluate.

Where can I find and apply to public relations intern jobs in Wisconsin?

You can find and apply to public relations intern jobs in Wisconsin on Migrate Mate, which lists current Wisconsin openings across industries and hiring locations. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your program year and areas of focus, and apply directly to each position that fits.
