Blockchain Community Manager

This 4-week course is designed for people seeking a career in the blockchain ecosystem as a community manager. Our goal at EkoLance is to be a one stop shop providing end to end recruitment solutions for professionals looking remote job opportunities in the blockchain sector. The program starts on the 25th of July 2022 and is free of charge. The application deadline is 20th of July 2022.

What is the training about?

With this training, we aim to prepare more professionals for the important role of managing communities for blockchain companies and projects.

A blockchain community manager is a marketing professional who oversees a blockchain company’s communications and brand. They are responsible for moderating communities, including social media channels, forums, blogs, and more. A community manager in blockchain is the voice of the company to the outside word and internally it’s the voice of the community to the team. He or she designs and manages content strategy, ensures the smooth onboarding of new community members, promotes trust and transparency and also encourages engagement within the community.

Blockchain community managers understand blockchain technology and the key concepts of blockchain such as cryptocurrencies, NFTs, the Metaverse as well as the applications of these concepts in different sectors. They have a good grasp of how the industry works, know the blockchain social media platforms and can create successful content for them.

The blockchain sector has been expanding over the last few years. Large industries such as IT, financial services and automotive are adopting blockchain technology and are looking to hire blockchain professionals. Silicon Valley is no longer the edgy tech frontier as workers flee Google and Amazon for crypto and blockchain startups.

A Cointelegraph research shows that financial investments within the blockchain sector have increased in the past year over 300% from 4.4 billion USD in Q1 2021 to 14.6 billion USD in Q1 2022, which is evidence that more companies will be looking to expand their blockchain teams.

EkoLance is leveraging on this growth opportunity and providing structured web3 training for the new blockchain skills and professions. We equip professionals to join the workforce in the blockchain ecosystem.

As part of our training offering, we are launching a 4-week community manager training.

Training structure

The training will take place in the course of 4 weeks. Every week the participants will learn some technical as well as soft skills required for the job as community manager. The participants will be able to practice their newly learned skills during the weekly assignments. The figure below describes the agenda of the community manager training.
