Best/Recommended Minor for Corporate Comms Major?
What minor is recommended to pair up with a Corporate Comms major? I was thinking of something in business like marketing, but I am not sure. I want something versatile and "stable" in the long term that can be applied to various industries and maybe even nationally/internationally.

A Corporate Communications major is a great choice because it can lead to careers in public relations, marketing, media, corporate branding, internal communications, and reputation management. If you want a minor that is useful across different industries, consider something that adds business or technical skills to your communication background.
Business Administration is probably the best minor. It gives you knowledge of management, finance, business operations, and strategy. These skills can be useful in many industries and may help you move into leadership positions later in your career.
Marketing is another excellent option, especially if you enjoy branding, advertising, digital marketing, and public relations. It complements Corporate Communications naturally and can open opportunities in marketing departments, agencies, brand management, and corporate communication teams.
If you want something that adds a more technical advantage, Business Analytics is worth considering. Learning data analysis, Excel, and campaign performance measurement can make you more valuable because companies increasingly want communication professionals who understand data and results.

Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated! I'm currently a first year university student, are there any skills you would recommend I start working on building?

You're very welcome! I would recommend focusing on writing, public speaking, and presentation skills, as they are especially important in Corporate Communications.
