– Sheldon Rodrigues, AVP Initiatives & Strategy, CMA
“I think for marketing students, how they are really going to benefit especially initially with the CMA NXT program, is having that really good understanding of what the marketing landscape looks like”
– Jess Rodrigues, Director Learning Programs, CMA
“It covers all the areas that are required to get into the marketing industry and it’s also a good way for them to access all the information on a single platform”
– Caroline Dubois, Project Specialist, CMA

The purpose and vision
A Better Understanding Is Needed
As a student, a recent grad, or someone just looking for that extra edge, you have the foundational technical skills that you've learned in your post-secondary programs to be successful. What you might be missing or haven't had an opportunity to really focus on and build, is your emotional intelligence quotient or better known as EQ. In order to make a lasting impression on perspective employers, you need to not only have a strong EQ, technical capabilities, but you also need to understand how YOU fit into the marketing landscape and where you want to be. We want to help you make informed decisions on what your NXT steps are!
Bridging The Gap
CMA NXT will help you get the transferable skills you need to succeed in the marketing industry. You will have the chance to get a glimpse into the industry, see the different roles within marketing and even see the variance between different companies. This will help you when you are deciding on what companies and roles to apply for.
A Video-Based Online Platform
CMA NXT will take you through four different modules: Roles in Marketing, Marketing Yourself, Future of the Marketing Industry, and the Experience Hub. We have brought industry professionals and thought leaders right to your fingertips! They share their insights on what it takes to be in their roles, give you advice on how to be successful, how to land your first job, what is going to impact the future of the industry, and everything in between.
