Thank you GOOGLE

These courses, which the company is calling Google Career Certificates, teach foundational skills that can help job-seekers immediately find employment. However, instead of taking years to finish like a traditional university degree, these courses are designed to be completed in about six months.
"College degrees are out of reach for many Americans, and you shouldn't need a college diploma to have economic security," writes Kent Walker, senior vice president of global affairs at Google. "We need new, accessible job-training solutions--from enhanced vocational programs to online education--to help America recover and rebuild."

We're moving FORWARD

Is it comparable though? Are people hiring going to hold this to the same degree as a literal degree? Sometimes it’s not about the experience and more about the capability of getting a degree. Ultimately those things should be considered when doing something like that. It’s nice that they’re leveling the playing field but this is bandaid.

The best way to provide equality in education is raise the standard and make it free. Which we can do because we know it’s possible from other examples of countries around the world.

I tried to sign up for the Coursera thing when google first did it and it made me sign up for a free trial, and when I was on the free trial I wasn't allowed to sign up for the free course, could only buy courses

Any sort of bootcamp or certificate program is a legitimate option for getting a job in tech.

This is dope, but yeah I could see corps discriminating against it as opposed to a "real" degree.

Nah we needa degrees expensive otherwise everyone gonna be applying to good jobs

But then if you get this on top of a degree, bet it will be praised

And here we see the real reason for expensive schooling, to preserve class dominance.

It’s just a cert lol

This is true tho

yeah you should've just not even posted bruh, I know you thought twice about hitting that post button listen to your intuition next time fam

Stop being a freeloader

I just just got Bachelor's a couple months, I could've really needed this then.

Can I use this to get a Masters though?

college is more about the experience than the learning for a lot of people can't replace that

It was advertised as free, they got me!

Damn.... This will probably be a thing before the end of the century

Why not both
