Google teams up with Assam govt to drive digital-led learning, skill development

Tech giant Google on Monday announced it has collaborated with the government of Assam to drive digital-led learning and skill development for students and youth in the state.

Under the initiative, Google will collaborate with the Assam Government’s Skill, Employment, and Entrepreneurship Department (SEED) to strengthen its school digitisation efforts with learning tools and solutions.

The ‘Be Internet Awesome’ programme would also promote the fundamentals of online safety and digital citizenship to school children.

Google will extend scholarships for Google Career Certificates to Assam’s youth in collaboration with the Assam Skill Development Mission (ASDM), according to a statement.

Under the pact, Google will collaborate with ASDM to provide scholarships and wrap-around training to enable youth to become job-ready for the demand for digital talent.

The programme will support qualified applicants to pursue Google career certificates in high-demand fields like IT support, IT automation, project management, and data analytics among others.
