New Specialized Career Certifications Created by ‘Grow with Google’ Through University-Industry Partnerships
Fortune looks at the success of those programs — and their newest evolution:
These online educational programs are focused on helping learners land jobs that are in high demand, including in digital marketing, IT support , data analytics, project management, and UX design. More than 300,000 people have graduated from Google’s Career Certificates program, and 75% of these grads report they’ve found a new job, higher pay, or a promotion within six months of completing of the program.
Today, Grow with Google takes this program a step further by developing university-industry partnerships. Grow with Google tells Fortune exclusively of the launch of its partnerships with top universities to offer specialized career certificates. These specialized programs build on Grow with Google’s existing programs, but offer more industry-specific take on the material….
The specializations include:
– Fundamentals of Data Analytics in the Public Sector with R by the University of Michigan
– Construction Management by Columbia Engineering
– Financial Analysis — Skills for Success by the University of Illinois’ Gies School of Business
– Sustainability Analyst Fundamentals by Arizona State University.
“This is really a tipping point for higher ed,” says Lisa Gevelber, founder of Grow with Google. “Educational institutions have always been the place that people went from the world of classroom learning to the world of work. But what we’re seeing here is higher ed really adopting more innovative, flexible models to make sure that students of all sorts have access to the knowledge to be successful in the workforce….”
The courses were developed by industry experts at Google, along with faculty at the hosting universities. Industry employers were also asked for input on important course content.
After finishing courses, students gain access to an online list of the jobs that the program qualifies them for. This includes listings from Google’s 150-employer consortium that specifically hire graduates of Google Career Certificate programs — including Google itself.
Gevelber explains to Fortune that “At the end of the day, no one is taking a class to take a class. They’re all taking this class to get a real economic outcome for their family. We want to ensure they have the skills they need and employers are laying and waiting to hire them.”

This means you have to manually migrate your cluster when a new Kubernetes release arrives.

The Wall Street Journal reports T-Mobile’s engineering and network operations teams are experiencing waves of layoffs, which have included managers and executives, on top of thousands of jobs eliminated by restructuring after the company merged with Sprint in 2020. T-Mobile execs promised then that the merger was “all about creating new, high-quality, high-paying jobs, and the new T-Mobile will be jobs-positive from Day One and every day thereafter.”
In April 2020, the companies had about 80,000 workers combined; however, as the Journal points out, T-Mobile’s most recent annual report (pdf) said it ended 2021 with 75,000 full- and part-time employees.

Tom Hanks created a trivia game and it’s coming to Apple Arcade this Friday
Tom Hanks has leaned into one of his passions by creating a trivia game with the help of developer BlueLine Studios. Not only is it Hanks’ first game, it’ll be the only trivia title on Apple Arcade to date. Hanx101 Trivia will feature questions in several categories, including history, math, geography and food. You can try to beat your high score or face off against other players in head-to-head bouts and team matchups when the game arrives this Friday.
This isn’t the first time Hanks has worked on an app for Apple devices. In 2014, he debuted Hanx Writer, a typewriter-themed writing app that became a hit on iPad. His production company also has an exclusive deal with Apple. Hanks’ movies Greyhound and Finch are Apple TV+ originals.
Several other games are coming to Apple Arcade in September. One of them is Gris+, an updated version of the gorgeous indie hit. Apple named it the best Mac game of the year in its 2019 App Store awards and called it a “masterpiece in visualization and atmospheric storytelling.” Apple Arcade subscribers can play it at no extra cost starting on September 30th.
Along with those, you’ll be able to try arcade racer Horizon Chase 2 (September 9th, coming to PC and consoles next year) and Garden Tails: Match and Grow, a new match-three puzzler from Two Dots studio PlayDots (September 16th). Farming sim Farmside will join the Apple Arcade lineup on September 23rd, as will a long-in-the-works Shovel Knight game, Shovel Knight Dig. The latter will hit Steam and Nintendo Switch on the same day.
The next epic platformer in the Shovel Knight saga is finally on the horizon!
We are proud to announce that our ambitious co-developed title, Shovel Knight Dig, will be coming to Nintendo Switch, Apple Arcade, & Steam on September 23rd, 2022.
