FCDC DIGITAL MARKETING MENTORSHIP
We are bringing back the digital marketing mentorships in September. Mentorships can be a game-changing opportunity for a BIPOC person’s career as a digital marketer!
This is a skill mentorship where you learn how to improve your skills. So you can receive help on your website, branding, content, or SEO skills.
When you fill out the form to apply, write down your goals. Your mentor can only provide support when you know exactly what you want to get out of mentorship.

We will start pairings in August and the mentorships will kick off in September.
