Digital Youth Academy Information

Founded by Penny Power, The Digital Youth Academy (DYA) was launched in early 2012 to develop a suite of qualifications and training programmes that enable young people to formalise their Digital Marketing and Social Media skills; enabling them to become highly skilled individuals with qualifications recognised by employers, which lead to sustainable work. Our core business activities are the creation and delivery of industry standards and qualifications in the Digital Marketing and Social Media sector. We have a number of products, including the Level 2 Social Digital Apprenticeship and Level 1 Social Digital Routeway, which we provide to our Delivery Partners under an exclusive license agreement. It is our aim to: • Help the ‘Born Digital’ generation capitalise on their self-taught Digital Marketing and Social Media skills to gain qualifications that lead to a sustainable career path in the sector • Equip individuals who aren’t ‘Born Digital’ with the skills and confidence to use Digital Marketing and Social Media • Connect learners with digital skills to employers with digital demands • Become the sector leader for vocational training in Digital Marketing and Social Media • To create a new industry sector, educating employers on the value which Social Media can have within business If you are an employer interested in taking on a Digital Marketing and Social Media Apprentice, please register your interest here: http://www.digitalyouthacademy.com/employer
