Kim Krause Berg of Cre8pc recently announced that the very popular Cr8asiteforums is offering sponsorships for students of search engine marketing, user centered design and web design industries. The sponsorship funds ($1,600) will be offered to four training programs who will then apply the funds to a “student in need or financial aid or create a scholarship with funds”. My personal choice would be for each of those training programs to create a scholarship with the funds and run their own “contest” to determine who gets the scholarship.
Forum members will choose the four training programs from a list of six including; SEMPO Institute, Search Engine College Certifications, Bruce Clay’s SEO ToolSet, Fresh Egg Internship, Web Design Training Program, Human Factors International and SEO Pros. The poll includes an “other” choice to be considered in future sponsorships. Polling will end on January 15, 2007 and the winners will be announced.
Hats off to Kim and those at Cre8asiteforums for promoting education and training. I encourage all of these training programs and others to follow her lead and offer “scholarships” or other ways to encourage training and certification.
Thank you so much for helping us get the word out on this. We’re excited about doing this. It’s been a goal of the forum team, and a personal passion of mine, for a long time.
These programs of training and certification of SEM and SEO practitioners are great and several WhiteGyr professionals are scheduled to participate in them in 2007.
