Google has announced the next steps in its plan to disrupt the world of education, including the launch of new certificate programs that are designed to help people bridge any skills gap and get qualifications in high-paying, high-growth job fields — with one noteworthy feature: No college degree necessary.
Google said the programs are intended to help accelerate economic recovery and provide millions the opportunity to find a job or grow their career or business.
The plan includes: the release of three new Google Career Certificates on Coursera in project management, data analytics, and user experience (UX) design; a new Associate Android Developer Certification course; over 100,000 need-based scholarships; partnerships with more than 130 employers working with Google to hire graduates of its certificate program; and a new Google Search feature that makes it easier for people to find jobs for their education level.
