Generation USA and St. Louis Community College have partnered together to bring St. Louis-area individuals access to their tuition-free, fully online digital marketing analyst program.
As part of the Verizon Skill Forward initiative, a workforce development initiative aimed at preparing individuals for jobs of the future, the program offers students the opportunity to develop the skills needed to be successful digital marketing analysts – from technical knowledge to the soft skills that will help them achieve their potential.
After completing the program and taking an exam, students can earn both Google Analytics IQ and Facebook Blueprint certifications. Graduates will have the opportunity to explore different learning outcomes like apprenticeships, internships, continuing education, or full-time employment. This program is part of Generation USA’s Training Accelerator programs.
“The digital marketing analyst training program at St. Louis Community College gives students the opportunity to become part of an existing and in-demand career by obtaining both the technical and leadership skills that lead to highly recognized industry credentials and full-time employment. We are excited to partner with Generation USA on this short-term accelerated training program,” said Lesley English-Abram, manager of community services, STLCC.
“We’re thrilled to partner with St. Louis Community College to help its students and community create a unique new pathway to career success,” said Emily Schaffer, Generation USA CEO. “The digital marketing analyst program will not only provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for careers in the digital marketing and social media industry, but it will also allow them to explore other creative opportunities to help invest with these new skills to the local community.”
The Verizon Skill Forward initiative, designed in partnership with Generation USA, provides free online training to individuals who are unemployed, underemployed, as well as those facing job displacement due to automation or challenges caused by the pandemic.
In addition to the digital marketing analyst program, Generation USA offers a myriad of online reskilling programs that provide free resources, access to multiple career pathways, and full-time employment opportunities in high-demand technology sectors.
