Houston College Students To Receive Market Motive Curriculum In New Online Marketing Program
Monday, August 30th, 2010Scotts Valley, California (PRWeb) August 27, 2010 – Houston Community College builds its new Internet Marketing Trained Professional program around Market Motive curriculum
Houston Community College (HCC) wanted to launch a first-of-its-kind Internet Marketing Trained Professional (IMTP) program. But they needed a recognized core curriculum to build the unique program around. They found it in Silicon Valley’s Market Motive, a leading curriculum developer and online training provider that specializes in online marketing training and certification programs.
IMTP lead instructor Tom King, President and CEO of Houston’s Forward Marketing and the founder of the Houston Internet Marketing Society, is excited about the partnership. “We wanted to create an internet marketing training program that provides the best knowledge-based certifications available. That’s where Market Motive comes in. Their online marketing curricula are the finest in the marketplace, and are the core of the Houston College Internet Marketing Trained Professional program.”
The Market Motive curricula offer comprehensive video-based lessons on Search Engine Optimization, Web Analytics, Conversion Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Pay Per Click Advertising, and Online PR. The lessons are presented by industry leaders and best-selling authors, and are frequently updated to reflect changes in the marketplace.
This isn’t the first high-profile educational institution to integrate Market Motive’s video-based online marketing training curriculum. “Our training videos have been a part of the Internet Marketing Program at Rasmussen College for some time now,” says Michael Stebbins, co-founder of Market Motive. “And that’s just one of the many educational partnerships we’ve forged. Our goal has always been to provide quality online marketing training from industry experts to as many students as possible. Partners like Forward Marketing and Houston Community College make that a reality and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
Students of the HCC program will also receive two month’s access to Market Motive’s entire online marketing training video library, classroom instruction from working professionals, and skills-based certifications. It promises to be the most comprehensive program of its kind in the country.
