Growclass, a Toronto, Canada-based provider of courses and community specializing in Growth Marketing, received $1.7M in funding.
The funding is part of the Digital Marketing Skills Canada (DMSC) program, powered by Upskill Canada and championed by the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA). Supported by funding from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s (ISED) Upskilling for Industry Initiative, more than 15,000 Canadian workers will benefit from this innovative approach to skills training.
Led by Sarah Stockdale, Founder and CEO, Growclass offers Growth Marketing courses, equipping marketers with the technical skills needed for high-growth career opportunities.
The collaboration between Growclass and Upskill Canada underscores a commitment to diversity and inclusion by targeting underrepresented communities in digital marketing education. The initiative will provide essential digital marketing skills but also pave the way for participants to embark on high-growth career opportunities, contributing to a more diverse and skilled workforce.
Commenting on the news, Sarah Stockade said: “By focusing on underrepresented communities, we want to support and arm individuals with the skills needed to change their career trajectory and thrive in a growth marketing role.”
