Alphabet Inc’s Google is launching a new online education program to certify people for work in information technology support, part of the Internet giant’s philanthropic push around job training.
Google has poured billions into artificial intelligence, a technology that many expect will render jobs across several fields obsolete. Last year, Google chief executive officer Sundar Pichai introduced a companywide initiative focused on employment. He announced Google would give US$1bil (RM3.96bil) over five years to nonprofits in the field.
