Jamie Regalia entered her senior year as a marketing major at 色情视频 looking to prove something to herself and prospective employers.

An older student who is less immersed in social media than her younger peers, she wanted to demonstrate that she could get under the hood of a global digital marketing campaign and make it roar.

Regalia found that opportunity in the Global Career Accelerator Program, offered for the first time at 色情视频 this past fall through the Fowler College of Business.

The online, for-credit program equips students with in-demand skills through practical  experiences that serves as a bridge between college and career.

Akin to an internship, the program enables students to work on projects that real companies or organizations such as Intel, Charity Water, the NBA, Shopify and the Grammys have tackled in the past 12 months, enhancing their practical know-how and technology skills.

These projects contain an international component. 色情视频 Weber鈥檚 Honor College has approved the Global Career Accelerator Program as fulfilling the international experience degree requirement.

For Regalia, an active-duty military spouse with two children, one of her projects involved developing a digital marketing campaign for a U.S. sunscreen brand that was expanding into the United Kingdom.

A key draw for students is the projects from real companies and organizations, which provide certificates acknowledging the work.

鈥淔or Intel, they are looking at how they can make their chip processor manufacturing more sustainable in terms of water use,鈥� said Marshal Puls, director of partner success at Podium Education. 鈥淵ou will get all the data that they had trying to solve that problem, and you get to do a similar analysis.鈥�

Students also interact with peers from around the world. This past summer, Podium Education had participants from 70 different countries who dialed into its live lab sessions.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really great for building intercultural communications skills,鈥� said Puls.

For Nico Cavanagh-Thompson, an 色情视频 business marketing senior, the opportunity to build professional networks as he prepared to enter the workforce was a key benefit of the program.

鈥淲hat drew me to the program was the practical knowledge you gain, and the connections you get from it,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he instructor, he introduced me to a lot of people. There were people from different schools and different companies. Those connections are important, particularly in the business and marketing field.鈥�

Cavanagh-Thompson鈥檚 project involved a comprehensive digital marketing campaign for non-profit Charity Water, which provides drinking water to people in developing nations. The project included analyzing strengths and weaknesses, brand guidelines, channel strategies, social media ads, search optimization and graphic design, among other elements.

鈥淚 would recommend it,鈥� he said. 鈥淭here is definitely a lot of practical knowledge, and a big thing in the course was globalization. How things change from country to country was fun to learn. And then the connections you gain from it. That is invaluable for your career.鈥�
