Advancement Prospects
With experience, you may be promoted to head of the public relations or community relations department. Aside from overseeing the performance of the staff, the director may be asked to serve as official spokesperson for the corporation, or serve as a board member of a community group.
Moving to a larger corporation, perhaps one that deals with more numerous and larger scale philanthropic projects, is another form of job advancement.
Other corporate community relations directors leave the corporate world to teach at the secondary and postsecondary levels.
