CCV Rutland offers FREE Digital Marketing courses

Here is some good news from November 25th article in Rutland Herald about free courses at CCV.

Rutland County residents looking to retrain for the 21st century — or employers looking to raise their profile in the online marketplace — can take some free classes at the Community College of Vermont.

CCV is currently offering a trio of classes to help today’s businesses to thrive in the Internet marketplace: introduction to Internet marketing; search engine marketing and optimization; and Web analytics.

Note: You many need to have an online subscription to the Rutland Herald to view above article link.

But you can also view another page from CCV website, announcing several days of “Open Houses” to promote these new Digital Marketing courses: Free Coffee and Free Courses Open House!

CCV – Rutland Open house dates:
Wednesday, December 11, 8 am – 9 pm
Thursday, December 12, 8 am – 9 pm
Friday, December 13, 8 am – 4 pm
60 West Street, Rutland

I will be checking out the CCV Open House myself.  Sounds like a great opportunity for Rutland area folks and small businesses.

Recommended online training website

Between now and the January 11th “brainstorm” meeting at Rutland Free Library …

… for those who might be wondering what kinds of IT skills you could learn and apply, here is an online training website (W3Schools) that I recommend, and reference often when coding.

W3Schools covers many types of computer languages, data formats and software tools that are available for building web apps and other computer applications.  The site offers both tutorials and great reference pages.  Check it out: HTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX, etc., a virtual “alphabet soup” of tech tools!

Hope to see you on January 11th, 2014.
