“Using a blended learning approach, we are able to deliver immersive and impactful learning experiences. The programme is designed to up-skill the next generation of digital talent in preparation for jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities across the continent,” she said.
Participants will learn how to amplify business’s online presence, define their social media audience, integrate WhatsApp into their marketing strategy, create content on their phone, understand the customer journey and launch paid ads.
Celestine adds that the practical, hands-on sessions will further help participants develop powerful digital marketing skills for use on Meta platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram for Business.
