- W2274663608 abstract "PR agency UK Progress is celebrating a full portfolio of client wins six weeks ahead of itsofficial launch.The unique agency will be run by final year public relations students working from anoffice at the University of Central Lancashire, and has already attracted 20 clients, mainlybased in the North West. The student consultants will practice under supervision and willbe assessed on the quality of their work as part of their degree.'Our public relations graduates already have an enviable academic reputation, but thisproject will really demonstrate that they are capable of applying their knowledge at the verysharp end of consultancy practice, in projects deliberately chosen for the challenges theybring,' says Paul Elmer, director or UK Progress and a senior lecturer in AppliedCommunication.UK Progress will complete project-based consultancy across an initial client portfolio thatspans major public sector accounts, manufacturers, legal and medical sectors. Studentteams will specialise in soundly-researched strategic communication, and will developtactical solutions that include publishing.'By integrating a real agency into their final year we will effectively be preparing secondjobbersfor the marketplace,' says Paul Elmer. The idea is simple enough: we are takingthe principle of work experience, and adding to it the quality control and rigorousassessment that has won Preston it's leading position PR education. The end result is a workexperience that delivers more learning to the students, more skill to the clients, and is a firstin the UK.'Clients pay a fixed fee of £2k that helps offset the costs of enhanced IT, office space andexpenses such as travel. UK Progress will operate as a full-time agency during theacademic year, with student teams using mobile technology including a fully wirelesscomputer network and university-provided mobile phones in order to maintain a constantservice without the need for a full suite of offices, a move designed to cope with varyingvolumes of work, with the potential for more than 100 student consultants working at peakperiods.The main drive this year has been in specially targeted sectors, ones where we know thatstudents will get a challenge,' says Elmer. 'But I want to see that grow to include the charityand SME areas, where we can help build a better society and help organisations toinnovate, and we are already partnering a similar student consultancy that has beenoperating in Utrecht for some years, so we hope to offer some students experience ininternational Consultancy, too.'Lectures and seminars are replaced with team meetings where student teams draw on thesupport and knowledge of a senior consultant, able to guide their developing practice,supplementing their fmmal learning on subjects such as applied research and strategy.Senior consultants, who are specially selected from the lecturing staff for their consultancyexperience and practice, add the experience of applying that knowledge at the sharp end,and of dealing with clients, in addition to more traditional teaching roles such as directingstudents towards books and other learning resources.6 August 2003nr077pe-ends-Note: For more information about UK Progress call the agency director Paul Elmer on07714 105095." @default.
