“Undergraduates and recent graduates are seeking new ways of learning and upskilling digitally. We see Facebook’s Community Boost Programme as an excellent fit, even if people don’t have a marketing related degree,” said the entrepreneur who started his BuzzStart Academy in January of 2019, and by February had partnered with Freeformers and Facebook to help deliver the programme.

“A few years back I was forced to move to England for digital marketing roles, but now we see that there are more digital roles than ever. A strong digital skillset is in demand. Future marketing leaders are coming through the ranks and these workshops are another string to their bow,” he said.

Finneen Bradley of NWRC Careers Academy said: “We are delighted to partner with Buzzstart Academy, Freeformers and Facebook for delivery of the Digital Skills Training workshops.

“The Careers Academy aim to close the gaps and support students to creatively meet their employment potential through innovative development of soft skills.”
