East Carolina University has partnered with the no.1 creator on YouTube, Mr Beast
So, it begins…
The impact of the creator economy is being felt across the world.
150 million creators joined the industry within the last two years and it’s changing the skills students require and the kind of education they seek.
The partnership will provide a fully online course and CERTIFICATION for students in:
*The creator industry
*Managing creator businesses
*Camerawork and editing techniques
*Analytics and driving audience/revenue growth
The course is designed for students preparing for a career in the creator economy, but also those seeking to start their own creator businesses.
It’s a huge deal.
Currently, major creators are spending six to eight months developing the skills staff need to excel in the industry.
This course plans to make students ready straight out the gate.
The content sounds incredible too:
Beast will share insight from his regular YouTube conference
Incorporate knowledge from other major YouTubers
Host everything in one CERTIFIED place
The best part?
You don’t even need to enrol on a 4-year programme to take the course.
It’s available as a one-off qualification you can study from anywhere in the world.
Legendary marketing.
If you work in higher ed partnerships, programme design or careers and employability - now is the time to take advantage of the creator trend.
It won’t be long before others throw their hat in the ring.
