Learn Job-Ready Skills to Start or Advance Your Career in High-Demand Fields with Google Career Certificates
With the rising increase of job applicants and graduates embarking on their careers without the necessary skill-sets they need for the positions they want, it is becoming ever more apparent that there should be an equal amount of importance placed on skills for job performance and an understanding of the subject learnt. Especially with the events of COVID-19, the adaptability of education has shown that it can implement the study of relevant skills and job performance.
The big Google Announcement
Google recently made a big announcement – the company is launching a selection of professional courses that will teach their students how to perform in a variety of high-demand jobs, and no previous experience is required to sign up for them. Google aims to help kickstart careers and get people back to work.
These courses teach fundamental skills which will help candidates find immediate employment in the industry of their choice, and are designed to be completed in the short time-span of 6 months – a stark contrast to the sacrifice of time and money students must participate in whilst at university.

Degrees from first-rate universities and companies
These programs are developed entirely by Google, and are hosted on Coursera, an online-learning platform which helps others build skills, take courses or study for degrees from first-rate universities and companies. The total cost of each certification will vary based on the time taken by the student to complete them. However, they will start at around €40 per month. Google is also providing grants and scholarships.
