In a contemporary effort to reskill tens of millions within the new regular, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has introduced new initiatives, together with opening up enrollment for contemporary profession certificates, increasing employer consortium, and new instruments to enhance the job search. Pichai stated that enrollment is now open for contemporary Google Career Certificates, within the fields of Data Analytics, Project Management, and User Experience (UX) Design.
“We’re also announcing a new Associate Android Developer Certification, which prepares learners for entry-level jobs in Android development. With 1.3 million jobs open in these fields right now in the US, the opportunity is significant,” he said in a statement last week.
With extra companies embracing digital methods of working, it’s estimated that fifty percent of all workers will want reskilling by 2025. “We’re also providing 100,000 scholarships to be distributed through nonprofits, workforce development boards, and other community organizations,” Pichai stated.
More than 130 employers have joined the Google employer consortium, eager to hire people who have earned these certificates. “We’re also opening applications for Google’s apprenticeship program in our Career Certificate fields in addition to a few other professional tracks. We will hire hundreds of apprentices over the coming years to participate in on-the-job training and applied to learn,” Pichai informed.
Globally, Google is sponsoring 100,000 scholarships for our Career Certificates in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. “In India, we’re working to make certificates more accessible and launch an employer consortium. And in addition to our Career Certificates, we’re also making our cloud computing, big data, and machine learning training free for US job seekers to help prepare for jobs in these high-growth fields,” he mentioned.
No degree jobs
Now when you search for “no degree jobs” in the US, you’ll see a new job carousel highlighting relevant opportunities near you. You can also filter by education and experience requirements, and there will be new labels on positions that do not mention degrees in their requirements.
“We’re also working with various job sites — including Glassdoor, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Snagajob, and CareerBuilder — and US employers to make education and experience requirements clearer on job postings,” Pichai said.
