Increase the value of your higher education programs
We partner with Universities and Colleges to provide their students with an industry-recognized credential and relevant professional skills, supporting their work readiness upon graduation.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Add industry recognized credentials to your program
According to a recent report by Ellucian (2019), both exployers and recruiters predict that in the next five years, credentials will carry more weight and become standard within the hiring process.

Global Industry Advisory Council
DMI is the global standard in Digital Marketing Certification.
We understand it, our members define it, our Global Industry Advisory Council shape it. Because of this, we see it differently.
We collaborate with a unique panel of industry insiders call the Global Industry Advisory Council. We use their insights to create a syllabus, our certification standards, and library of content that is a true meeting of the newest tech and thought; to define new global standards for the industry and give our Members more.
"The feedback from students has been fantastic, I was really quite ignorant of how much the students would celebrate their certifications."
Professor Stephen Marshall,
East Tennessee State University
"We've had some really big success stories with our internship students who have already done the certification. We have just topped 410 enrollments on our associate level, we are getting more and more students."
Dave Keighron,
University Canada West
