Multicultural career workshopsince 1983, the annual two-day irts multicultural career workshop has helped students and recent graduates with opportunities in our industry, as well as by introducing them to recruiters from top companies. More than 156 students were selected from across the nation to receive a full day of orientation, before having an opportunity to interview for jobs and/or internships with recruiters from broadcasting, cable, advertising, publishing, digital and ancillary media companies.

Faculty seminarirts faculty seminars provide a forum for university educators and career service professionals from across the nation to meet with top media professionals in order to understand the sweeping changes taking place in our industry, as well as where the greatest opportunities exist for their students. This allows educators to teach in a more timely and relevant way. For more than five decades these seminars have provided a level playing field where professors from schools that vary in size, wealth, reputation, and approach all have an opportunity to hear from those at the forefront of our industry. The theme of the 2024 program was media insiders: today's opportunities and tomorrow's challenges.

Throughout the year, irts provides complimentary career assistance in different forms, including ongoing counseling and mentoring to its graduates, advice to visiting (or remote) groups of students, an annual networking alumni event, exchanges via dedicated alumni social media groups, and more.
