Google Career Certificates are flexible, online training programs designed to equip learners with job-ready skills in high-demand fields such as IT Support, Data Analytics, UX Design, Project Management, and more—no prior experience or degree required.
These certificates are intended for individuals looking to start or pivot into a new career, including early-career professionals, job seekers, and those without traditional college credentials.
The Google Career Certificates program addresses a critical skills gap, where millions of Americans are excluded from well-paying jobs due to a lack of a four-year degree. My contributions to the development of Certificates & Essentials Courses directly supported this initiative, providing accessible and effective training in high-demand fields. We recently celebrated 1 million graduates, and I'm proud to have played a role in equipping learners with the skills they need to compete for in-demand roles, thereby expanding access to economic opportunity and contributing to a more inclusive tech industry.
