Google has recently launched a new learning platform called "Google Skills," aimed at making the internal training resources of Google's top teams directly available to the global public, with the goal of bridging the skills gap in the AI field. The platform integrates the essence of DeepMind AI Research Team, Google Cloud, Gemini AI Model Development Team, and Google Education, and is hailed as the first systematic release of "Google's internal AI knowledge" to the outside world.

Core Resources and Zero-Barrier Learning

The launch of Google Skills breaks the high cost of traditional AI higher education. Compared to university courses that can cost between 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars, Google Skills offers free access for Google Cloud users, almost reaching a "zero-barrier" learning experience. Non-Cloud users can choose a monthly subscription of $29, while enterprise users can customize training programs.

The platform provides core content including:

  • Real AI research training courses from DeepMind

  • Over 700 hands-on labs in real cloud environments

  • Integrated Gemini Code Assist (AI programming assistant)

  • Official digital certificates and skill badges (Skill Badge / Certificate) upon completion of courses

  • Job pathways directly connected to over 150 partner companies

Emphasis on "Hands-On Learning" Practical Training

Google Skills particularly emphasizes practical training through "hands-on learning." In addition to traditional videos and explanations, the platform's core feature is providing real Google Cloud environment labs, where students must complete practice tasks (Tasks), write code, and build models themselves. During the learning process, the AI tool Gemini provides real-time feedback, helping students debug code or add prompts, ensuring efficient practical results.

Employment Recognition and Career Development

The certificates and skill badges obtained after completing the courses are real and verifiable digital credentials. According to statistics, these qualifications are recognized by more than 82% of hiring managers as professional qualifications.

In addition, Google Skills has established close recruitment channels with over 150 partner companies. Students who complete specific certifications will have the opportunity to be added to these companies' "candidate pools" and gain interview or internship opportunities through official channels, providing a fast track to employment for AI job seekers. The Google Skills platform is committed to cultivating AI talents with practical capabilities, becoming a new benchmark for connecting technical knowledge with career demands.
