Connecting students with small business

Students enrolled in second and third year La Trobe University will soon be able to gain experience working with local businesses in the social media and marketing internship program being organised by the Greater Shepparton Business Centre.

Businesses located in the Greater Shepparton region are being invited to submit Expressions of Interest to participate in the Social Media and Marketing Internship and will have until Monday, July 27 to sign up.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Seema Abdullah said this was a great avenue to upskill students and assist local businesses in rolling out effective marketing through social media.

“This program is a great opportunity to help resource our local businesses and improve their digital presence, increase promotion of their business through marketing activities and receive ongoing digital mentoring.” said Cr Abdullah.

Students will attend the workshop in July and placement will commence from August 3 to October 16.
