The program

Kepler Academy is an 8-week marketing externship program that offers training, mentorship, and job preparation skills to prepare participants for entry-level roles in digital marketing. The curriculum is designed to address key structural barriers impacting diversity in the industry: awareness and access, hands-on skills, and career development.

Kepler Academy has partnered with COOP to make our hands-on program available to their students.
01
awareness & Access

An overview of the digital marketing ecosystem and the types of roles that are available, as well as career panels and speakers who share the path to their success.

02
Hands-on eXPERIENCE

Training on key media and advertising platforms, such as Facebook and Google, and hands-on-keyboard experience for a live campaign.

03
Mentorship & Career Development

One-on-one mentor relationships with Kepler team members and coaching on what it takes to search, interview for, and land a position in the industry.

The curriculum

Participants attend classes - virtually at this time - an average of two hours a day. Training leverages Kepler's world-class digital media training program, Kepler University. Participants use their knowledge to run an actual digital campaign for a business, deepening their understanding through hands-on application. In addition to training, participants are paired with a Kepler team member to support them through the program. And, participants will be prepared for the job market, with access to speakers from top brands and platforms, resume workshops, interview prep and networking opportunities.
