Sunnyvale (California): Google Cloud Monday announced new certificates and courses in Generative AI, Cybersecurity and Data Analytics at the ASU + GSV Summit to help connect talent to in-demand tech jobs across industries and sectors.

The new Google Cloud Data Analytics and Cybersecurity Certificates, and courses in Generative AI provide dynamic, hands-on learning experiences that validate skills with industry-recognized credentials.

The learning journey is powered by generative AI tools, like Interview Warmup, to prepare learners for in-demand cloud roles in data analytics, cybersecurity, software development, systems operations, and more — particularly as jobs start to require advanced AI knowledge.

The courses launch employer partners include the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Rackspace, Jack Henry, and Purdue Global, all of whom are helping learners advance their careers through the new trainings.

As the demand for AI and cybersecurity skills increases, U.S. employers posted nearly 200,000 jobs for AI skills and job roles in the past 12 months, according to Network World.

Demand driven courses

In addition, the World Economic Forum reports that demand for AI and machine learning specialists is expected to grow 40%, adding about one million jobs to the global economy over the next five years.

Collaboration between industry, government, education, and employers can help prepare to keep up with this demand.

"Google Cloud is committed to driving innovation in the public and private sectors, and that includes working with future technologists and the current workforce to prepare for careers in high-growth areas like AI, cybersecurity, and data analytics," said Lee Moore, Vice President, Google Cloud Consulting.

"While these investments enable individuals to pursue exciting new jobs, they also ultimately help organizations achieve their own digital transformation goals", Lee said.

"In addition to the digital trainings that are available on YouTube, certificate completers will also have the chance to take custom, hands-on labs that represent on-the-job scenarios. The labs are specific to each employer partner and will be considered the first stage in their hiring process", Google Cloud said.

Credit-bearing pathways

To expand access to these programs, the new trainings are being offered to educational institutions, government, and nonprofit workforce development programs across the globe at no cost.

The Google Cloud Certificates also offer credit-bearing pathways to academic institutions, like Purdue Global.

"Purdue Global's students have benefited greatly from the strong working relationship between Purdue Global and Google," said Frank Dooley, Chancellor of Purdue Global.

"Encouraging our students to build industry-recognized, stackable credentials will make them more competitive candidates for in-demand tech careers. We believe these new Google Cloud Cybersecurity and Data Analytics Certificates will equip our working adult learners with the essential skills to move forward and succeed in today's cloud-driven market", Frank said.
