Donegal ETB has launched a new course in digital sales and marketing to give students vital skills to cater the needs of local employers.
The Career Traineeship in Digital Marketing is the first of the new Career Traineeship to be introduced to Donegal. This new branch of traineeships have been created in response to employers calling for people with qualifications in certain sectors.
The ETB will be answering these calls by training students to have a City and Guilds Level 3 diploma (QQI level 5 equivalent) and industry specific qualifications.
This is a full-time programme beginning on May 22nd. Over 45 weeks, students will gain a focused education in Digital Marketing and get work experience with local employers to put their skills into practice.
What would I learn?
Modules on the course cover all aspects of the digital world and online business. Tutors will lead classes in social media, video, promotions, brand development, online advertising and search engine optimisation, to name a few! Click here to see the full list of modules on the dynamic programme.
Do you want to boost your employability in the changing world of business?
A certificate in Digital Sales and Marketing will benefit learners who want to gain analytical and creative skills above those demanded in traditional marketing and advertising.
Why should I study with Donegal ETB?
The ETB has carried out interviews with employers and identified the demand for digital marketing and sales skills. They have created this traineeship to cater to the needs of the sector, so you’ll be learning skills that will progress your career and improve your employability.
The 45 week course includes 13 weeks of work placement with two businesses. The ETB’s programme coordinators aim to provide placements with large and small businesses, so learners can gain a unique insight into the digital marketing campaigns of different enterprises.
Learners will also be able to use their skills to benefit smaller businesses as they share the training they’ve gained through class studies. It’s a win-win for all!
