Google just announced three new Google Career Certificates available online on Coursera, which enable people to become job-ready for growing career areas such as IT Support, Project Management, UX Design and Data Analytics.
These low-cost programs help people who want to learn online at their own pace, or who may want to change careers and don’t have the time or means to access traditional education.
They can be completed in under six months, do not require relevant experience or a degree, and are recognized by industry experts and employers.
These certificates help meet surging demand by workers to get the skills they need to secure good jobs.
These certificates help meet surging demand by workers to get the skills they need to secure good jobs.
In the last year, there was an increased interest in online learning as more workers lose their jobs or as they seek the skills employers are looking for today — and in the years ahead.
Addressing the challenges of the future of work requires collaboration between governments, companies and community organizations. Google is proud to support the European Commission’s Pact for Skills, and, as part of the commitment to help people overcome barriers to learning, the company will provide scholarships for the certificates for 100,000 people in EMEA. Scholarships will be distributed through local organizations like Fundae and SEPE in Spain, APDC and IEFP in Portugal, the London Borough of Camden in the UK, OAED in Greece, Czechitas in Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Agency for Digital Development (ADD) in Morocco and RootHub in Nigeria.
Additional local collaborations will be announced soon.
