Reading Time: < 1 minute

Disclaimer: I am not a career coach and I don’t work in HR. I have been a hiring manager and I am a people leader and I am a professional navigating the current job market and these are a few courses that could make a difference, especially if you are in the communications and content marketing circles.

Coursera + Google Courses

Google Digital Marketing and e-Commerce Course was touted a few years ago and a good entry into digital marketing and as the world shifts with more decision makers pushing AI and automation, it may be a good option still with new AI skills integrated. Focus is on storytelling, social media and email marketing as well as media planning.

Publishing Training Centre e-modules

An affordable and accessible entry into editorial project management is the Publishing Training Centre (UK) e-module on Essential Editorial Project Management. The courses helps to develop an understanding of how to guide a publication through its production, whether print or electronic, by using appropriate tools and approaches to track the project and keep those involved informed.

Crisis Communications Management

This is something I am keen on training and learning more in and the course I identified that I am considering at least auditing (no certificate included) is the DartmouthX: Crisis Communication and Management.
