WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —<\/p> \n

Purdue University is offering the Google Career Certificate program, making it possible for Purdue students \u2014 undergraduate or graduate and on campus or online \u2014 as well as the public to earn Google Career Certificates in the fields of cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing and e-commerce, IT support, and project management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Purdue is among a handful of universities making this offering available to the public as well as its students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Career Certificates were designed by experts at Google to teach in-demand, job-ready skills. They will be available to Purdue students and other individuals through the registration website at http:\/\/www.eventreg.purdue.edu\/online\/GrowWithGoogleCertificates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purdue is offering the certificates for the introductory price of $249 for a year of access to the certificate program of your choice or $39 for a monthly subscription to pursue multiple certificates. A year\u2019s access also can be purchased as a gift certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program includes the Google Employer Consortium of over 150 companies \u2014 including Accenture, Deloitte, T-Mobile, Wells Fargo, Walmart and, of course, Google \u2014 that considers hiring Google Career Certificate graduates for relevant positions. The courses can prepare learners for careers in a large array of jobs such as cybersecurity analysts, IT support technicians, data analysts, project managers, marketing coordinators and more. According to Google, over 70% of graduates report a positive career outcome such as a new job, raise or promotion within six months of completing the program. The certificates are in fields with a median entry-level starting salary of $76,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Google Career Certificate courses are self-paced and can be completed fully online in under six months of part-time study. There are no prerequisites and no experience is required. Learners earn a certificate and a digital badge upon successful completion, providing validation of their newly attained knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Google program provides flexible, professional training that is specific to and can enhance the careers of individuals completing the certificates and, in the case of Purdue students, augment what they are learning at Purdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited and grateful to launch this partnership with Google,\u201d said Dimitrios Peroulis, senior vice president for Purdue University Online<\/a>. \u201cWe believe this is an important step that will enable many students within Purdue, and in the broader Purdue ecosystem, to learn critical skills as they earn these certificates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle is thrilled to continue our long-standing partnership with Purdue University, as it offers the Google Career Certificates program to undergraduate and graduate students,\u201d said Lisa Gevelber, founder of Grow with Google. \u201cThe Google Career Certificates program will help make students job-ready for some of the most in-demand, well-paying career fields in our country. And they provide a unique opportunity to learn from the experts at Google while they are pursuing their degree from a world-class institution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
