QUEEN CREEK, AZ – The Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Google to offer students and job seekers the Google Career Certificates at no cost. Google Career Certificates are flexible online training programs that teach job-ready skills in the high-growth fields of cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing & e-commerce, IT support, project management, and user experience (UX) design. 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 150+ assessments as well as hands-on experience so learners have the necessary skills to be successful on the job, and all content is industry-vetted. The certificates are 100% online, on demand, and are typically completed in 3 to 6 months part time (5-10 hours per week).
“We are excited to be awarded the Google Career Certificates and offer them to our community.” Said Chris Clark, President and CEO of the Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce. “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 to take a Google Career Certificate. 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 of over 150 companies— including Deloitte, Ford, Verizon, Walmart, and Google—that consider them for relevant roles. Launched in 2018, over 200,000 people have graduated from the program in the U.S. Over 70% percent of them report a positive career impact—such as a new job, higher pay, or a promotion—within six months of completion, and 55% of graduates identify as Asian, Black, or Latino.
