The Marketing Skills Trust is a grant giving body that helps fund skills opportunities in the marketing industry for people who need it most.
Starting a career in marketing?
But not sure where to start? Our guides match your skills to marketing roles that may suit you with useful information and links.
What we stand for.
Our grants to training organisations provide a critical ‘leg up’ to people through targeted and relevant education, skills training and practical experience.
We want to help you navigate a career path in marketing in an environment when there is limited structure and it’s difficult to understand how to get started.
We don’t just support higher education, we want to give all young people the chance to start a job in marketing whether it’s through apprenticeships, mentoring, short courses or long courses.
We are a grant giving body who supports suitably qualified training and skills-based organisations to give people more chances to get started in marketing.
