Overview
The Social Media Marketing & Content Strategy Internship is a self-paced virtual internship for learners who want to understand how brands plan and run their social media presence. It goes beyond posting regularly and focuses on the thinking behind effective social media work: clear goals, a defined audience, consistent content and decisions based on data.
You will study four modules in a logical sequence. The first sets up strategy and platform knowledge, the second covers content planning and creation, the third deals with community management and paid social advertising, and the fourth teaches you to measure results and report them clearly. Each module includes practical study notes and a timed online multiple-choice exam.
The internship finishes with a capstone project in which you prepare a complete 30-day social media strategy for a business of your choice. This gives you a structured piece of work for your portfolio, and on meeting the exam requirements you receive a QR-verifiable internship certificate that shows your internship period.
