In an effort to keep CMHT students atop the industry’s trends and skills, the college has partnered with Salesforce and Semrush to offer training and certifications in their software. Lecturer and Digital Retailing Program Coordinator, Malini Ratnam pushed to bring these platforms exclusively to CMHT to develop the technical skills of our students. Digital CRM and supply chain classes will implement Saleforce in their projects; whereas the Digital Retailing Strategies course will utilize Semrush and will be able to earn a certification in that software at the end of the course to show mastery in key, career-ready skills, making them even more sought out in the industry as the field becomes more and more competitive each year.
