Always a hot topic among our communities, communications, and how you brand or market the work of your academies, and how you recognize your business and community partners, are important (and often underappreciated) parts of the ecosystem of our career academies.
Our friends from the Academies of Shakopee – a great Ford NGL community in Minnesota – shared their experiences and efforts in a webinar with ACTE Career Academy section colleagues, and we have taken some of the best bits to share with you as you address Ford NGL Tactic 3.5: Branding, Communications & Storytelling.
And, you will also get some great examples to take away!
