Introduction

Today’s schools, nonprofits, and local organizations all rely on digital communication to connect with families, promote programs, and build trust within their communities. But in a crowded online landscape, getting your message seen and understood requires more than enthusiasm—it demands strategy, analytics, and the ability to reach the right audience at the right time.

The Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate, offered by SchoolDay Academy and powered by Coursera, equips educators, communication professionals, and career changers with in-demand marketing and analytics skills directly from Google experts.

In just six months (at about 10 hours per week), learners build hands-on experience with real-world tools—Google Ads, Analytics, Canva, Shopify, Mailchimp, and HubSpot—and master the strategies behind successful digital marketing and e-commerce. Graduates earn an industry-recognized credential from Google that demonstrates job-ready proficiency and practical, AI-enhanced marketing insight.
