Google Cloud Career Virtual Certification Journey Learning Program

Google Cloud is currently accepting applications for 2022 cohorts. Applicants will be admitted while space is available. The Cloud Career Jumpstart program offers free access to Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer training to prepare for the Certification Exam.

While many cloud engineering positions exist, it may be challenging for those with little or no previous experience to land one. Even more so for members of disadvantaged groups, who confront additional structural impediments in education and employment.

With the goal of meeting this demand while also broadening access to opportunity, Google Cloud has launched its first virtual Certification Journey Learning program for underserved communities in the United States, called Cloud Career Jump Start. The program is free of charge for participants and aims to provide a path to certification via the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer Exam by providing technical and professional skills development and resources.

Program Details

The program gives free access to the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer course, which helps students prepare for the Certification Exam. It is an industry-recognized certification that enables job seekers to demonstrate their cloud skills, advance their careers, and transform organizations using Google Cloud technology

Following the hands-on training, Google Cloud will offer an additional 9 months of career development resources and activities. This includes an online support community, mentoring with Googlers & partners including SADA, EPAM Systems Inc., and Slalom, resume and interviewing support from Google Recruiting & Staffing, and additional career workshops. We are also partnering with a number of Black-owned and -operated, nonprofit and cloud training organizations like Kura Labs.
