Google has rolled out a training platform under its Grow with Google that provides many FREE and paid online courses (~3000) with certifications, and tools to help people develop foundational and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) skills. The recent focus is on AI training which is self-paced, accessible and built to fit into busy schedules. The world is changing fast and AI is no longer only for tech specialists. Training is needed so students, workers, older adults, small-business owners, and professionals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) don’t get left behind.
Key Features
- Introductory AI courses that require no prior experience.
- Short, flexible modules (some in under 10 hours)
- Hands-on labs, badges and role-specific tracks.
- Free and paid options, so learners from many backgrounds can join.

Professionals looking to upskill their productivity or apply AI in their workplace.

Organizations, institutions and workforce development programmes aiming to train groups to be ready for an AI-driven job market.
