Build Digital Marketing Skills & Career Opportunities
Are you looking for new content, tools, case studies and approaches to use in your virtual classroom? Join us as we discuss the free digital marketing skills resources on Facebook’s Blueprint Educators Portal to support your remote learning efforts and how the Association for Career and Technical Education’s (ACTE) educators have leveraged the content with their learners.
We will walk you through the plug-and-play content modules, each with its own lesson plan guides and materials for you to integrate into your existing units, and highlight the packaged 10-week online course you can follow in sequence to support your learners to build certifiable skills in digital marketing. We’ll hear from ACTE educators themselves on how these resources have helped learners get hands-on with building skills to prepare them for careers in social and digital marketing.
