The IoIC is on an important mission to raise awareness of internal communication as a career of choice and shift the narrative from 'I fell into IC' to 'I chose IC'.
#IChoseIC Series
Hear from professionals about their career journeys and what it's like to work in the world of internal communication.
#IChoseIC Out and About
Here are a few highlights from a variety of our recent activities.
Jennifer Sproul, CEO IoIC
"It was a pleasure to spend two hours with students at LSE alongside the wonderful Laura who so kindly shared her career journey. Sharing our mutual passion for internal communication and the fantastic career you can have in the profession is such a rewarding experience. The students were highly engaged and asked lots of interesting questions from the type of roles, what they could get involved in and the opportunities to enter the profession. Continuing our #IChooseIC agenda is so important to the future of this amazing profession."
Laura Colantuono, #IChoseIC Ambassador
"As a proud #IChoseIC Ambassador, I was thrilled to share my career journey with LSE's students. Explaining the ins and outs of my job and why it's important for organisations was a total highlight. And seeing the students so engaged made me even more proud. Big thanks to the IoIC for the opportunity, and a shout-out to the fabulous Jennifer Sproul for being an amazing co-host!"
Jennifer Sproul and Laura Colantuono at LSE
Jennifer and Laura recently delivered a skills seminar for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
Jen introduced students to the internal communication profession, explored the key knowledge, skills and behaviours required of an IC practitioner, and shared insights into the exciting opportunities within the profession,
Laura then talked to them about her journey into the internal communication profession, her experiences in IC roles; and how rewarding internal comms can be as a career.
