Episode 29 -Why Digital Marketing Skills Will Secure Your Employment Future in Public Sector

Europe is facing a digital skills crisis and in Ireland, despite having attracted big tech companies in the last decade, there is still a skills gap.

The public sector is behind the curve of the private sector but COVID-19 has provided a unique opportunity to catch up. 

The pandemic has accelerated the shift to online and now public sector marketing pros and decision-makers need to upskill in digital marketing right across their organisation.  

The results of that an enhanced work force of digital and social media marketers will bring far outweighs any costs (time or monetary).

• > Why public sector need to level up their digital communications skills
• > In-sourcing V out-sourcing digital marketing knowledge 
• > I speak to Amanda Rosearne, CEO of CPD Standards Office about the role of CPD accreditation for digital marketing and social media skills

Interview with Amanda Rosewarne, CEO of the CPD Standards Office

Over the past two decades her career has focused on training & CPD. She is passionate about the effectiveness of professional development and making people employable regardless of their career stage.

Amanda’s background is in occupational psychology and her expertise lies within Continuing Professional Development (CPD), lifelong learning, training and professional development.

As an organisational psychologist practitioner, she has advised hundreds of organisations on providing CPD activities and schemes, and 11 years ago I founded the CPD Research Project, based at Kingston University.

Her organisation, the Professional Development Consortium, which houses the CPD Research Project and The CPD Standards Office aims to raise the quality of CPD provision across all sectors and ultimately create a positive experience of CPD activities by raising CPD standards with our accreditation services. Public Sector Marketing Institute is a proud member and all our courses, events and my coaching work is accredited by CPD Standards.
