“Google plan to replace the need for college degrees with six-month certificates”.
That was the catchy headline of an article last week on the iflscience website which has been shared almost 50,000 times in just a few days.
It was referring to Google’s recent launch of a new suite of career certificates that the tech giant says will help Americans without university degrees get jobs in “high-paying, high-growth” fields such as data analytics, project management and user experience design.
Noting that degrees are “out of reach” for many Americans, Google said it will provide 100,000 need-based scholarships to equip participants with skills through courses that it has developed.
