Abstract

The old saying goes you can't teach an old dog new tricks - whatever we don't learn in our youth will be impossible to learn later in life. However, for today's PR sector this is certainly not the case. This paper examines the availability of further vocational training in this area, and the criteria on which old dogs might choose the right course for them to learn some new tricks.
