The Google Career Certificates are back with three additional courses, aimed at empowering you to upskill and secure an entry level position with a firm within the tech industry. Previous cohorts have been able to transfer their skills into viable positions within data analytics and project management. We are still offering all Camden residents the opportunity to undertake our historic courses which include data analytics, digital marketing and e-commerce, IT support, project management, and user experience (UX) design, completely free of charge.
We would, however, like to introduce to you three new courses that will be made available: Business Intelligence, Data Analytics 2.0 and Cyber Security, that will be available in the coming weeks. These courses delve deeper into the world of tech and are highly sought after.
Google is working to make these certificates employer friendly and will have a lot of networking opportunities and events in the near future. We have just provided a recent graduate with an all-expense paid trip to Paris, courtesy of Google’s networking events. We have so much more in store for our completers and hope to extend the opportunity to all Camden residents who are looking, but are unsure of how to enter the tech industry. Don’t miss out!
