Google Public Policy’s Post

Today, we’re excited to announce that one million graduates have completed the Google Career Certificates program. In the United States, nearly 74% of job postings require a college degree, but less than 40% of people have one, leaving many good jobs out of reach for 70 million Americans*. Employers were also struggling to find people with specific skills for some of their most urgent needs. To help solve this problem and provide better access to high growth careers that pay well, we created the Google Career Certificates. This #GrowWithGoogle milestone reflects Google’s ongoing commitment to equip individuals with in-demand skills to succeed in today's workforce.

Google Public Policy I would be curious though to see the data to see where people end up after taking these Google career certificate courses. There's a lot of these types of courses that are out there already and so seeing the added worth that you get out of this would be amazing in terms of either a white paper or a report.
