“Combining two certificate programs at UCLA Extension is a unique opportunity for me. I have wanted to work in digital marketing for a while, and I am learning a lot, like how to use Google Analytics in the Digital Analytics class. And, on the other side, the Business of Entertainment certificate is taking my personal interest and teaching me the basics of the industry. The instructors are interesting and use examples of their professional work, making the class really practical. I feel confident I can find opportunities to work in marketing in the entertainment industry.” — Mathilde Ricard, SKEMA Business School student pursuing two UCLA Extension certificate programs “The digital marketing certificate and its variety of courses so far—Digital Analytics, SEO, Digital Marketing —have helped me shape the marketing strategy of my future business. Additionally, tools and resources have allowed me to go deeper to nourish my curiosity and flesh out my resume. The Business of Entertainment Certificate instructors have helped me understand the key elements of the industry, their relationships, and their strength and interests. Their materials and analyses also provide excellent insight into where to go to find the internship or the job you want.” — Hugo Breiner, SKEMA Business School student pursuing two UCLA Extension certificate programs

Ranging from executive communication seminars to new manager and future leader trainings to helping students preparing to enter the workforce, our Custom Programs Department has offered hundreds of unique programs for clients. Below are a few recent sample programs in these areas.

The goals of this program were to enable growth that would yield immediate results in employees’ current roles, and also to support longer-term development for future leadership roles within the organization. The program includes a mixture of credit-bearing courses, custom seminars, and monthly coaching.
