Social Media Training & Internship

This opportunity is funded by the Government of Canada - Youth Employment Skills Strategy.

Would you like a great digital job? Do you need to enhance your work readiness? Would you like valuable digital training? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we invite you to launch your career with the Flexible Upskilling Network (F.U.N) program.

About the F.U.N Program

The F.U.N. program is a blended learning program designed by Prepr to support youth who face employment barriers by giving them highly desirable skills, including employability skills, digital skills, generative AI, as well as Prepr’s signature PIE method (project leadership, innovation & entrepreneurship) for interdisciplinary problem-solving.

What makes the F.U.N program even better is that you will be matched with a potential employer in Ontario at the end of your training, and have the opportunity to complete an 8 week paid work placement.

Job description

We are looking for youth with an interest in or experience with social media strategy, e-commerce, or digital marketing. You may work with others including marketing and technology team members. If offered a placement, you may be responsible for:

• Social media strategy and campaign design
• Content creation for TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and more
• Community engagement and growth strategies
• Social media scheduling, analytics, and reporting
• Paid ads and influencer collaboration basics
• Leveraging Generative AI tools to create content more efficiently

This is a unique opportunity to put your skills into practice and gain real-world social media management experience.

Here's what a past program graduate had to say about her experience:

The program has helped me focus on what I want to do after this. I’ve decided that I want to combine my dev experience with UX. Before I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my career. Now I know. The program has given all of the professional tools that I need to prepare myself for the real world.

The instructors, speakers and mentors were all very knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive… I enjoyed learning from all of their stories. It was very encouraging and motivating to say the least.
