    Google and University System of Maryland Launch Career Training Initiative

    Lisa Gevelber, Founder of Grow with Google, emphasized the importance of this partnership in helping Marylanders succeed in their careers. The initiative will provide training in high-demand fields such as cybersecurity, data analytics, and project management through Google Career Certificates. Additionally, the AI Essentials course will equip learners with practical AI skills and knowledge of responsible AI practices.

    The partnership also includes support for military learners, with several USM campuses offering academic credit for completing Google Career Certificates. For instance, the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) will offer up to 10 credits, helping students save time and money as they work toward their degrees.

    To further support student veterans nationwide, Google.org is providing $4 million to Student Veterans of America (SVA). This funding will help veterans access Google Career Certificates and AI training, as well as support SVA’s efforts to improve university services for student veterans.

    The collaboration between Google and USM is part of a broader effort to connect people with job opportunities. With over one million people having completed Google Career Certificates globally, and more than 70% reporting positive career outcomes, this initiative aims to make a significant impact on the career prospects of Marylanders.
