Graphic designers are one of the highly sought after freelancers in the online world
Graphic design is more than just aesthetics, it’s how a business or company
communicates with its audience. Naturally Samoans are extremely creative people, it’s no surprise that graphic design was one of the top career paths that students in the first Internet Work Academy cohort requested more information on. To meet the demand we propose a one week course on the Introduction To Graphic Design be held at the RISE Education Center.
Having more skilled and experienced graphic designers on island would not only help small businesses but it will also help make these graphic designers
competitive in the global online job market. Graphic designers are one of the
highly sought after freelancers in the online world, so having more graphic
designers in American Samoa will help them qualify for job opportunities online
which then also results in contribution to the local economy.
