Facts about Google Career Courses that will ‘Dilute’ University Degree

Google introduces new ‘career certificate’ courses that will enable participants to wade into high-paying jobs without necessarily earning a university degree. Most of the courses will take about six months to complete, unlike most degree programs which take up to around four years to complete.

High education would likely be ‘disrupted’ with Google’s program in four disciplines namely: user experience (UX) design, data analytics, project manager and or IT support professional.

Google explores effective means to give learners everything they require to get employed in their chosen fields at a cost of $39 per month. The total cost will be up to around $240 or lower, depending with how fast one finishes each course.

Upon completion, graduates can share their resume directly with employers such as Verizon, Walmart, Accenture, Deloitte, Bayer and Anthem among others. Google proclaimed that it will open apprenticeship program to aid certificate holders to gain more skills and hire hundreds of apprentices in coming years.

Kent Walker, a senior vice president of global affairs at Google, was quoted by Inc. Magazine, saying that: “We will consider our new career certificates as the equivalent of a four-year degree for related roles.”

The certificate that will be offered by the tech giant will be easily recognized by most companies and industries across the globe because Google is a household name. The programme will be cost-effective. Other employers might emulate Google by designing job training strategies rather than hiring graduates who are inept in industrial skills.

The online certificate course could help employers to rapidly expand their expertise and unraveling hidden talents from diverse localities. Google states that its certificate program is “product agnostic and tailored to help individuals land jobs at any company, across any sector.”

Google is already offering online courses in collaboration with Coursera. Some of the best Google courses are Data Engineering with Google Cloud, Google Cloud Platform and Android Basics. The giant search engine Company also offers a free course dubbed Fundamentals of Digital Marketing.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species . A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change . The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner. Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Why World Tycoons Should Emulate Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, in the Battle against Climate Change

The silent biggest global pandemic is global warming. Global problem deserves global attention; and that is why world moguls and leaders should use their influence to initiate change that can positively impact the world. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has consistently advocated for environment conservation and has been a key personality in the battle against climate change . Gates keen focus has been to increasing access to clean electricity in remote parts of the world. As a key defender of the environment, he is quoted by the Guardian saying that: “The idea of adding new electricity capacity- you can’t just go build coal plants.” The Guardian reported that Gates likes using private jets because he can get affordable fuel for flight. He revealed that he has already footed the bill of carbon footprint to a group dubbed Climeworks , a firm that captures up direct air in Iceland. Gates pointed out that the future of vehicles travels lie with electric cars; but excluded the el...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...
