The Streams.

DIGITAL MARKETING

Graduates are equipped with industry level digital marketing skills enabling them to start in entry level positions or start their own freelancing career. Practically this means our students are armed with specific skills like; Email Campaign, Social Media Management across all platforms, Search Engine Optimisation, Building of landing pages, content creation and management.

SOFT SKILLS & PERSONAL MASTERY

Many of our students have not have enough exposure to the internal and interpersonal skills to be able to start, keep and grow in a job. These are skills what many people around the globe take for granted like; critical thinking, professional communication, leadership, problem solving, giving and receiving feedback, project & time management, curiosity, dealing with failure in the workplace and even personal budgeting. These skills are the foundation of iHub’s success and at the same time take the most deliberate investment and time to master.

PERSONAL MENTORSHIP & STUDENT SUPPORT
Each iHub student has a professional mentor that helps them navigate the iHub journey, plus they have access to in-house student support and an external referral network of professional counsellor. The personal support our students receive is a key ingredient to our success. Skills Development is not just about learning new skills, it’s about understanding who you are and dealing your past to be able to confidently step into your future.
