The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, which means it’s more important than ever for businesses to stay on top of upskilling their staff to enable growth. To address this demand, Education Partnership North East (EPNE) is launching a fully funded digital marketing training programme, designed to help organisations in the region market their business online.
"An Introduction to Digital Marketing" is open to businesses from all sectors, including small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and charities. The programme focuses on upskilling existing staff members.
From the very first session, attendees will be able to apply skills and strategies they’ve learnt to improve the profile of their organisation, increasing awareness and sales.
The curriculum is designed to help organisations:

Increase interest: Generate high-quality leads and audience engagement.
Drive sales: Cultivate sustainable revenue streams and growth.
The course is delivered by experienced marketing professionals who bring real-world insights and contemporary best practices into the classroom.
