The last post (#5) was about IT jobs. Related to this is the idea of “Google Career Certificates” at https://grow.google/. If you go to the page, you will see a section that looks like this:
This page claims:
- That there are “1,300,000 in-demand job openings across certificate fields”
- That $63,600 is the “average salary for entry-level roles across certificate fields”
- That is takes about 6 months at 10 hours per week to complete a certificate. YMMV.
The certificates are available in fields like:
- IT Support
- Data Analytics
- Project Management
- UX Design
- Android Development
There is a spectrum here, where IT Support is likely to be easier than Android Development to attain.
On this page, Google offers free introductory sessions learn more.
