Do You Offer Your Students A Recognised Qualification In Internet Marketing?
“Right now, I have 14 roles immediately available and over the last month we’ve had ONE application.” Mark Wright, BBC ‘The Apprentice’ winner.
In a recent BBC article, Mark Wright, winner of the BBC’s ‘The Apprentice’ in 2014, talked about the huge shortage in digital skills, echoing former Cabinet Secretary Gus O’Donnell’s concern that the UK would get left behind if it didn’t increase efforts to compete globally.

At the time, Mark had 14 positions advertised for his company with only ONE application forthcoming and a lack of suitable applicants to fill them.
How many of your past students can you name who have gone on to study further or gain work in the growing field of Digital Marketing?
According to research from Linkedin in September 2020, 150 million new technology jobs would be created over the following five years.
Social Media Marketing Consultants, Search Engine Optimisation Professionals, Video Marketing Technicians, Facebook and Google Advertising Experts, Local Business Marketing Specialists to name just a few.
Speaking in 2020 at Tech Talent Charter Annual Event, Baroness Morgan, who was Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and previously Secretary of State for Education, said that there were over two million people working in digital tech jobs in the UK and that demand for these roles was growing at almost three times the rate of the financial services sector.
With various members of Government having spoken about the digital skills shortage in recent times and there still being an apparent lack of clarity or solution, imagine the recognition that would be shown to any school that takes the initiative?
Mark Wright can’t be the only business person struggling to find new employees with the necessary skills?

To summarise:
There have been plenty of people talking about the shortage of digital skills – politicians, employers, and tech groups.
The Financial Times reported that employers including Microsoft, Google, and software company Salesforce urged ministers to work more closely with industry to address the problem, which is costing the UK economy, billions of pounds. This came following a report by TechUK, a trade body that represents hundreds of UK and multinational tech groups.
A UK government levelling Up white paper promised that by 2030, the technology sector would see 200,000 more people successfully completing training in high-quality skills. 2030 is some time away.
There is no doubt that this has been a much-talked-about problem for a number of years.
A collaboration between schools or colleges and Internet Business School courses, in particular, the Accredited Diploma in Internet Marketing with its convenience and accessibility would be a highly effective initiative in giving students the opportunity to progress in this sector.
A school or college involved in this way will no doubt be noticed and gain recognition for the achievements of its students.
We look forward to speaking to you to arrange to provide the Accredited Diploma in Internet Marketing to your students.
