Right now building a consortium of companies anta..


Google has established a consortium of over 50 employers who can tap into graduates of Google's certificate program, inviting graduates to share their information directly with said employers. 

So far, participating employers include:

  • Walmart
  • Intel
  • Sprint 
  • Bank of America 
  • PNC 
  • Best Buy
  • H&R Block
  • Hulu 
  • Infosys
  • Sam's Club

Google claims its certificate programs are "product agnostic and designed to help people land jobs at any company, across any sector." The company is currently inviting employers of all sizes with a variety of hiring needs to apply to join the consortium. Accepted companies will have access to exclusive job boards and will be invited to participate in interview days.

Yeah, 4 -6 years in Uni and not much is learnt that is actually relevant to the industry. Moreover, 100s of thousands of dollars of your parent’s savings/loan spent on it. Rarely use any of it in the work place tbf.

Is the point of education only getting a job?

Sad. 

Most people attend college/university because it is a requirement in many companies tbf. In IT and in some other fields, you really don’t need to study so much. How many people are ever going to use “The asymptotic laws of planar Brownian motion” in their daily jobs? Even after a 4 year degree, new graduates are being trained by these firms with technologies that are relevant to them. Companies like google probably realized that there was no point in waiting 4 years to do that.
