Sebo Marketing has created a way to give back to the community and provide future employees and business leaders with the skills the need to excel in today’s workforce. This is done in conjunction with the BYU On Campus Intership program (BYOCI). Sebo provides training and guidance to students helping them gain valuable internet marketing skills, while the students help Sebo provide websites to organizations and companies in need, through free labor.

Sebo believes in freedom. It’s at the core of everything we do. Our employees set their own schedules. Our clients work with us without contracts. We educate our clients so that they are mentally free from other companies who would use their “expertise” to scare clients into doing what isn’t best for them. In this spirit of freedom we want to help non-profits and start ups be free to grow and succeed. Now a days having a good web presence is critical to company growth. So it is only natural that we do all we can to help free others from the barriers blocking their path to success and provide them with a website.

The project takes the interns and clients through the Sebo Site Build Process.
