CEDIA has recently announced its partnership with Google with the aim of extending educational beneficence. The prospective and current members are offered free access to business courses that would complement the industry-dominant curriculum.
The curated courses, available through CEDIA Academy, cover a wide range of topics comprising “Fundamentals of Online Marketing”, “Design Thinking for Entrepreneur”, “Attract More Customers Online Using Digital Tools”, “Black-Owned Business Attribute” and more.
“Our industry is full of small business owners who share a passion for smart home technology and how technology can enhance homeowners’ lives. Yet to be successful and stand out from the crowd, integrators must develop more than just technical skills and become masters at business,” says Giles Sutton, CEDIA Interim Co-CEO and SVP Member Success and Sales. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Grow with Google. We’ve supplemented CEDIA’s high-quality education with courses and content that equips integrators with the tools they need to level up their businesses and to help them go from strength to strength”, Sutton adds.
“We are excited to share Grow with Google’s free training resources to help small businesses and entrepreneurs in CEDIA’s network gain valuable digital skills and grow their businesses,” states Aisha Taylor, Community Engagement Lead for Grow with Google.
