Enrollment is open for Google Career Certificates in Data Analytics, Project Management, and User Experience Design (USA only)
https://blog.googleGoogle is launching a number of initiatives aimed at helping job seekers, first one is an initiative called Google Career Certificates, which offers paid courses on Coursera and allow people to earn the equivalent of a four-year degree in about six months. They are providing 100,000 scholarships to be distributed through nonprofits, workforce development boards, and other community organizations such as Per Scholas, NPower and Goodwill.
Next, they have attracted over 130 employers to join their employer consortium, eager to hire people who have earned these certificates. Graduates can share their resumes directly with employers like Anthem, Verizon, Bayer, Deloitte, SAP, and Better.com, Accenture, Walmart, Infosys, Google and more.
When you search for “no degree jobs” in the U.S., 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. They are also working with job sites — including Glassdoor, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Snagajob and CareerBuilder — and U.S. employers to make education and experience requirements clearer on job postings.
