In just 12 weeks, you'll learn the basics of digital marketing including SEO, graphic design, creative editing, emerging tech, campaign management, media buying, audience research, and more.
Upon completion, you can be placed in a paid internship with one of our partner companies for hands-on experience in digital marketing.
Prepare for a career in social media with top-tier agencies, media companies, and local businesses.
Connect with an industry professional mentor throughout the program and your internship.
Every student is provided a MacBook to produce high-quality work.
Same training, pointed at local business. NXT LVL Biz pairs a South Los Angeles small business with a trained NXT LVL participant who delivers the marketing work while the owner goes through the accelerator. If you graduate NXT LVL, Biz is where the paid placement can happen.
