The Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Google to offer students and job seekers Google Career certificate scholarships.
Google Career certificates are flexible online training programs that teach skills in the fields of cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing and e-commerce, IT support, project management, and user experience design, according to a press release.
Google employees with decades of experience in these fields develop and teach the certificates. No degree or experience is required to enroll.
Each certificate includes more than 150 assessments, as well as hands-on experience. All content is industry-vetted. The certificates are 100% online, on demand and are typically completed in three to six months part time from five to 10 hours per week.
“We are excited to be awarded the Google Career Certificates and offer them to our community.” stated Chris Clark, president and CEO of the Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce, in the release. “These will provide students and job seekers the opportunity to obtain a certificate and get job-ready skills for these high demand industries.”
Individuals can only sign up for one scholarship. Upon approval for the scholarship, the recipient will receive an email with specific details on how to access the program online. Those interested can sign up at qcstudentchamber.com.
After finishing the program, graduates are connected with an employer consortium made up of more 150 companies, including Deloitte, Ford, Verizon, Walmart and Google, that may consider them for relevant roles, the release stated.
Launched in 2018, more than 200,000 people have graduated from the program in the U.S. According to the release, more than 70% percent of them report a positive career impact, such as a new job, higher pay or a promotion, within six months of completion. In addition, 55% of graduates identify as Asian, Black, or Latino.
