When most of us think of Google we think of a place to search for answers to our most common and urgent questions. 

But this powerful search engine and data company is also an excellent place to get an education. 

Google’s Career Certificates programs quickly get you the training you need for in-demand jobs and it’s all done online. The online education available from Google can be done in under ten hours per week and connects you up with more than 1.3 million of the best new jobs in America. 

The Career Certificates program has been a remarkable success so far, boasting an 82% student satisfaction score and average salaries of $63,000 for jobs that graduates have entered. 

As Imogen Potts writes for Business Because:

“The majority of MBA courses come with a sizeable financial investment. On average, the total cost of a top-ranked MBA is $168,000, according to BusinessBecause research. Google’s certificates cost around $240 and allow you to learn new skills as part of the ‘Grow With Google’ initiative rollout. 

‘Grow With Google’ is a scheme created by the tech giant in order to close the digital skills gap by providing training, tools, and expertise at a lower cost compared with traditional higher education….

Google Career Certificates can take less than six months to complete and students can apply their knowledge at the same time and increase their earning potential.”

Google Career Certificates take place using the Coursera online classes platform and focus on IT, project management, analytics and program and app design. 

Those who will be particularly interested are folks looking to get into information technology (IT) such as becoming an IT support specialist, a data analyst, a project manager, a designer or even a software and app developer. 

There’s no doubt that the best and most high-paying jobs of the future will be focused on tech and digital know-how, making Google Career Certificates the perfect idea to get involved in as soon as possible. 

In addition to graduates getting excellent jobs across the country, Google Career Certificates lets you work at your own pace and check out many resources for students including tools to build up and improve your resume, get coaching from industry experts and connect with employers who give preference to Google grads.
