What is the IRTS Multicultural Career Workshop?
From 11am – 3pm ET each day, you will hear from some of our industry’s most dynamic professionals through a series of engaging panels, featured speakers, and Q&A sessions. The majority of our speakers were actually former attendees of IRTS programs such as this one – a testament to how valuable participating in this event can be!
Since media is ever-evolving and multifaceted, the panel and speaker topics are designed to introduce you to the various positions and opportunities within the industry. Conferees will learn about opportunities in advertising, content creation, digital media, journalism, marketing, media buying and planning, production, research, sales, and many more!
Following the Workshop, IRTS will share employment and internship opportunities from our corporate partners who are eager to hire and engage with IRTS program alumni.

“Prior to attending the workshop, I was nervous thinking about post-graduation prospects. After hearing candid insights and inspiring stories from leaders and rising stars alike, I’m excited! It was empowering to see so many POC gathered together in one room. Even though the workshop was just a few days, I gained insights that will last a lifetime.”

“Before attending the workshop, I was unaware of all of the opportunities the media industry offered. I left the workshop knowing that I should work for success just as much as hope for it. Attending was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made; IRTS showed me I can be a leader in the media industry if I continue to always put my best foot forward.”

“My decision to attend the IRTS Foundation’s Multicultural Career Workshop changed my life. The experience showed me just how powerful, resourceful, and wiling I truly am. I am confident it will do the same, if not more, for others who desire it so.”
