Expertise

Team Training and Development

BBS training and development courses focus on challenging each participant’s skill level and building confidence – with practical tools and tips to instantly put into action.

Beyond the leadership group, the communications competence of the broader team is critical for organisations seeking to enhance their reputation, manage stakeholder relationships or maintain a competitive advantage.

BBS offers a range of practical, engaging and interactive communication training and development courses. Our training experts work with clients to tailor courses to suit individual needs, focusing on practical skills that can be applied in the workplace from day one.

We train hundreds of people across Australia each year in media, professional writing, crisis management, business development and more.

BBS trainers are a mix of communications experts, professional facilitators and former journalists. We practice what we teach every day, meaning our courses are practical and memorable – based on real experience.

Intern at BBS

BBS operates a University Internship Program which offers placements in line with the university semesters, plus holiday period intakes, generally June/July and December/January/ February.

We accommodate trimester students and our program is open to applicants who are pursuing an internship of their own accord outside of the standard university semester calendar.

As a BBS intern you can expect to work alongside experienced professionals on real client projects, an environment which provides an accurate picture of what life as a communications consultant is like. 

BBS interns are always considered first for our graduate roles and many of our former interns have gone on to senior roles within our firm.

Working in a consultancy is diverse, fast-paced. It’s often said that “you’ll learn more in your first year in consultancy than in your first 3 – 5 years in another role”.
