School courses give students a jump in internet marketing

Online marketing is an industry which has been growing exponentially over the past decade. Most legal internet marketing firms are started by entrepreneurial and self-educated people who recognized the power of the internet and ventured into a new business territory.

 Now high schools and universities are beginning to offer course in online marketing to meet the demands of a growing industry. High schools and universities are offering classes to teach people the various different aspects of internet marketing like pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization and social media. 

Many of these universities offer classes to non-traditional students. The courses offered can be taken online and on the weekends. The University of Utah, University of San Francisco and Columbia School of Journalism are offering certification programs for people who want to enter the online and legal internet marketing field. The education programs cater to everyone from senior executives to rank and file marketers who want to advance their careers or brush up on their skills. 
Google also offers study information and certifications for internet marketing. Personal experience is also crucial so people wishing to get into internet marketing are encouraged to study and learn through hands on experience. 

Online marketing is projected to grow into a $20 billion dollar industry in 2012 and many legal internet marketing firms are looking for new employees to help them meet the demand for their services.  What was once a field that no one really understood is becoming a formidable force in the job market.
