You guys, this is massive.
Google is offering career training
certifications that are going to teach you the essential job skills
so that you can get your first job or a new step in your career, basically.
Back in March, Google launched three
new career certifications on top of their I.T.
support program that they had before.
So now you can also take UX designer, project manager
or data analyst certifications and learn directly from Google.
Later on, they actually also added an Android developer career certification.
What's really, really cool is that these certifications
take about six months to go through, and they require
no prior experience or no
other studies in these fields.
Actually, Kent Walker, who is the SVP for Global Affairs
for Google, said that even within Google, they will be considering these career
certifications to have the exact same weight as a four year degree.
And we expect that not only Google but other companies are going to see these
Google career certifications also weighing just as much as a four year degree.
So if you want to know everything about these Google career certifications,
then make sure you stick around
till the end of the video because I'm going to show you
not only where to go and how to apply for these career certifications,
but also I'm going to tell you how much you can make
and what exactly are the types of jobs that you can apply for?
Some of them are even work from home.

Thank you so, so much in advance.
Let's get into the video. All right, you guys.
So here's what I'm going to need you to do.
first of all, you need to go to grow dot Google, and depending where you're based,
you're going to see a forward slash international or Europe or America.
But it does not matter.
Just go to grow dot Google.
That one is the main page for the entire program
that Google put together to support the economic revival
because of everything that has happened in the last 18 months.
So once you go to grow Dot Google, you're going to see everything
they have to offer when it comes to this massive program.
What we want is to go to career certificates. OK,
but before we go to career
certificates, I want you to scroll down a little bit
to see that the program has been done
together with Coursera, with the Open University
and a bunch of others that have helped Google put together this curriculum.
And a lot of the courses actually are hosted on Coursera,
and that's where you will also be paying the small amount
that you would need to pay for the content of these courses and certifications.
And I'm going to come back and talk about this in a moment. OK.
And if you scroll down even further, you'll see
that they offer lots of help and support.
When you go to for your career, they tell you that
they help you find a new job.
Learn a new skill.
Champion diversity.
Run your life remotely and so forth.
But what we want is to take a deeper look at the career certificates.
OK, so you're going to want to go all the way
to the top here and click on career certificates.
Once you do that, you're now on the main page for the job ready skills
that can give you an opportunity to get a job a lot faster.
And here you can get a very good overview
of the program, as well as a path to jobs
and lots of answers to any questions you might have.
And essentially, what they're saying is that, as I said,
there is no need to have any experience prior to this.
You can learn job ready skills just going through these courses and certifications.
And they estimate that right now there are 1,300,000 jobs
that are in-demand and that exist across these certificate fields.
Not only that, but also 80.
2% of the graduates of these certificates
have mentioned that these certificates have had a positive impact
on their career, and on average you can expect to make over
$63,000 per year with one of these career certificates.
Now, in terms of how long it takes well with under ten hours
per week in your own time and in a very flexible manner,
you can get certified in any of the fields that I've mentioned
in less than six months.
So in terms of what fields are available, I mentioned at the beginning
they used to have the I.T.
support one, and then back in March, they added three new ones.
The data analytics, project management and UX Design one.
And then later on, they also added the Android development one,
which I'm not going to go into a lot of detail in today's video.
But if you guys want me to talk more about the Android development one
or about any other developer type jobs or skills, do let me know
in the comments down below, and I'm more than happy to do that in a separate video.
Now basically what you need to do in order to get these certifications
and start getting jobs well, you need to follow three steps.
Step number one Just complete a Google career certificate online
at your own pace and in your own time.
Step number
two Access the career resources like coaching sessions, mock interviews
and resume builder tools that they make available to you.
And then step number three get your foot in the door
with top employers through the Google Employer Consortium.
Now, obviously, you don't need to use the Google consortium or anything like that.
You can just use any of the platforms we've talked about on this show
many, many times.
So if you want inspiration on where else you could use this
kind of skills, then there's lots of videos on my channel.
There's no need for me to bore you with those right now.
Let's take a look at the frequently asked questions.
first of all, what background knowledge is necessary?
Well, none.
As I said, this could just be something you do while you're in college
or while you're in high school, or it does not matter how many years of experience
you have, you could be super experienced if you want to change your career path.
You can do that with these Google certifications.
Are they really 100% online?
Absolutely.
You do not need to be in-person present in any classroom.
What resources are available to help my job search?
Well?
Lots of free resources that you will make available to Cert graduates,
including interview tips, mock interviews and resume builder workshops.
How much do the Google career certificates cost?
I'm sure you must be wondering about the cost, and here's
all the details that they are providing.
The I.T.
support, user experience design, project management and data analytics certificates
cost $39 per month by subscription on Coursera.
Also, access to the Google Associate Android Developer Certification
training is free and the official exam is $149
paid to the administrator of the exam.
So here you go.
In case you want to follow these career certificates,
the cost is really, really
low compared to any four year university or four year degree
that you would be able to take in most places,
probably except for the universities that have free courses.
But even there, you would probably need to pay to get certified in something.
OK, so let's take a look at the three
newer ones that Google have launched.
So if project management is something that seems interesting to you,
then you can go ahead and take the Google Project Management Certificate
and you can get started in the high growth field of project management
with a professional certificate developed by Google.
They expect that an entry level
salary in project management could be about $59,000.
You can learn everything online in partnership with Coursera
and the type of jobs that you would be expected to do.
Our Project Manager, Project Coordinator, Project Assistant Operations Manager,
Operations Associate Program Manager, Scrum Master, Project Associate,
Project Analyst, Project Administrator and Technical Project Manager.
You would be able to qualify for tons of in-demand jobs
in project management, no matter if that is for a small company
or for a large enterprise organization or corporation.
You would be able to use these skills and this certification in tons of places.
OK, let's take a look at the next one.
The User Experience Certificate And in case you're wondering,
and if this is a new term for you, UX stands for user experience.
And essentially many people think that this has
something to do with development, but actually it doesn't.
It has to do a lot more with understanding user behavior and being able
to guide user behavior through the way
a website is designed, for example.
So what they're saying is that you can learn about
the foundations of user experience, design and gain the skills that you need
to find an entry level job as a UX designer,
which would be paid with on average, about $58,000.
Obviously, the types of jobs that you would be doing as a UX designer
are user experience, design, UI, design
interaction designer, visual designer and product designer.
They also say that UX designers make technology easier
and more enjoyable for people to use the design products and tools
so that they are more useful and accessible to users.
So as I said, this is not so much about technology.
You're not going to do any coding.
It's more about understanding user behavior and using those insights
and the market research and the persona design
and all the information that you have about a user to design a better experience
for them on a website or using certain online and digital tools.
And last but not least, let's talk about the data analytics certificate.
You guys have heard me talk about data analytics many, many times
on this channel.
It's one of the areas that is very, very close to my heart.
I'm also a data nerd, and I think this is one of those
really in-demand jobs of the future.
If you're interested in making sure that whatever you're studying and you're
getting certified in is going to be one of those jobs of the future
that will be in demand, and you will have no worries
and no concern about finding a place to work in.
So what they're saying is that with this certificate,
you can get started in the high growth field of data analytics.
With a professional certificate from Google,
you'd get to land job ready skills that are in-demand.
As I was saying,
like how to analyze and process data to gain key business insights.
And essentially, if you're new to data analytics, basically what a data
analyst does is they make use of the tons of data
that any company has access to and helps the company gather insights,
make sense of that data and be able to make decisions based on that data.
Like for the other ones, no relevant experience is required.
It is 100% remote and online learning, and it requires under ten hours of study
per week.
With this type of job, you're expected to earn
almost $68,000 as an entry level salary.
The kind of jobs that you would be able to do once
you get certified with this data analytics certification training.
We're talking junior data analyst, associate data analyst, junior
data scientist, finance analyst, operations analyst, data technician,
business performance analyst, marketing analyst, health care analyst and so on.
Pretty much wherever you see something related to analysis or data analytics,
that would be something
that you could easily apply to and you would have no concern getting OK.
So this one, just like the other ones, is pretty easy to enroll into.
You basically just need to go ahead and get started on Coursera.
And once you do that, you can enroll for free,
you've got a seven day trial and then you will go ahead and pay.
The $39 per month, which is Coursera, is monthly subscription rate.
You've got all the details you need in terms of the exact curriculum,
what you will be able to learn in each of.
These programs that the certificate is shareable, is completely online,
flexible schedule, beginner level, approximately
six months to complete and everything is carried out in English.
So there you go.
I hope you enjoyed this because there is a lot of value
in getting these certificates.
All right, you guys. That was it for today.
