Business data is often stored in varied locations and formats, making it difficult to access, apply in a compelling data story, and use to inform business decisions. The data needs to be retrieved, structured, interpreted, monitored, and reported in accessible formats that enable stakeholders to understand and use it effectively. As a result, there is high demand in the marketplace for business intelligence professionals with the skills and expertise to achieve these goals.

Google had long faced an issue that many other companies also contend with: We had open IT support roles, but not enough qualified candidates to fill them. So we built and tested a training program to provide pathways to jobs in technical support at Google for people with no college degree or experience. In 2018, Google launched the IT Support Certificate so that this training could be available to everyone. Since then, thousands of people have completed the program. In the United States, 75% of certificate graduates report a positive career outcome (e.g., new job, promotion, or raise) within six months of completion.¹

When we saw the positive impact this program was having on people all over the world, we expanded into additional fast-growing, high-paying career fields: cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing & e-commerce, project management and UX design. Built and taught by Google, these certificates prepare people from all backgrounds for jobs in fields with great demand for qualified candidates. No degree or previous experience is required. Graduates get the chance to connect directly with over 150 U.S. employers who are accepting Google Career Certificates for open jobs.
