This program is designed for post-graduates or someone with minimal professional SEO experience. The program begins with six weeks of dedicated, hands-on training across all of our agency functions. After that, you’ll be assigned an assessment so we can see how far you’ve come. Once done, a select few of you will continue for another six weeks (paid) where you’ll work on actual client projects — developing the skills you need to kick-start a career in search and content marketing. 

No color-coordinating calendars, labeling files, or taking lunch orders when interning at SEO Sherpa. You’ll be working on real clients while gaining real-world experience working side-by-side with world-class experts.
