Ivy Tech Community College has announced that it will offer five Google Certificates at no cost to students in partnership with national not-for-profit Jobs for the Future (JFF). The program, as part of the Ivy+ IT Academy, is designed to prepare learners for entry-level jobs in the in-demand fields of cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing and e-commerce, IT support, project management, and UX design, the college said.
Ivy Tech says that the program is designed and taught by Google employees, with resources including resume templates, coaching from Career Circle and interview practice. Graduates are also connected with an employer consortium of over 150 companies.
“Our partnership with Google and Jobs for the Future will bring more tech jobs and innovation to Indiana, providing Hoosiers with a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-wage, high-demand industry that is generating impact at scale for the state,” said Ivy Tech Chief Information Officer and Senior Vice President Matt Etchison.
Ivy+ IT Academy, which was announced last year, is an offering provided in collaboration with corporate partner TechPoint, to increase the state’s tech workforce and further the state’s reputation as a tech hub.
