        Owens Community College is offering a Media Influencer Certificate beginning Fall 2022. The two-semester program can be completed on its own, or as an add-on to any program.
         “This certificate will appeal to a broad range of students, such as students in Broadcast Media Technology, Commercial Art Technology, Music Business Technology and Entrepreneurship. It will be a benefit for them to learn to market themselves,” said Jen Hazel, program director, Humanities. “Forbes recently published about this new and emerging career and predicts influencer marketing will swell to $15 billion this year. It’s an exciting opportunity for our students to get started now.”
        In this program, students will become proficient in visual storytelling, website building and advertising. Through different courses, students will learn skills such as web graphics creation, photography, writing, business and advertising.
        As a media influencer, certificate holders will have the experience to influence others on social media to purchase items or services based on their reputation.
