Google announced a multi-pronged effort to help students and workers better prepare for a rapidly changing labor market.
The online-services giant launched “Grow With Google” which aims to provide training and certificates related to a variety of technical and entrepreneurial skills.
The company’s philanthropic arm, Google.org, will make $1 BILLION in grants over the next five years to nonprofit organizations working in education, job training, and equal opportunity.
And Google employees will donate a million volunteer hours to supporting those efforts, CEO Sundar Pichai said Thursday in Pittsburgh.
