Founded in 2014 by Nikki Cochrane and Kathryn Tyler, Digital Mums is a social media training company, specialising in getting mums job-ready with in demand digital skills, so they can find rewarding roles that sync with family life. We currently offer two six-month courses: Our Social Media Management Course is for mums from all career backgrounds. As part of the course, they will run a grassroots campaign in their local community using social media channels set up specifically to support their chosen campaign. By the end of the six months, our graduates are job-ready and some even find work before they finish. Our Social Media Marketing Associate Programme matches mums with a small business during their training. They develop a social media marketing strategy and run the businessê social media platforms as part of the course. The Associate Programme is only open to mums from a marketing, PR, or media background. By the end of both courses, mums are equipped with all the skills they need to set themselves up as a freelance social media manager or digital marketeer. We encourage all our mums to #DoTheHustle - sell their skills and negotiate the hours and pay that works for them and their families. We have a big vision to support every mum to achieve their perfect work-life balance. We call this •work that worksê and itês a vision that we fully embrace at Digital Mums, with our whole team given the option to work flexibly and remotely. Itês also a vision that is working for the hundreds of mums weêve trained - to date, 95% have completed the course successfully and 4 out of 5 have found work, which they attribute to their training. To ensure as many mums as possible are able to benefit from #WorkThatWorks, weêre currently piloting a bursary fund for low income mums to take part in the training and hope to roll this out fully in 2017.
