Local college offers first-of-its-kind “media influencer” program

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Owens Community College will soon be offering a Media Influencer Certificate program.

The new program starting in the 2022 fall semester will be the first-of-its-kind. It’s a two semester program that can be completed on its own or added on to any other program.

Owens said the certificate option appeals to a broad range of students, saying it can help students to learn to market themselves.

“Students will become proficient in visual storytelling, website building and advertising,” Owens said in a statement. “Through different courses, students will learn skills such as web graphics creation, photography, writing, business and advertising.”
