As the growth in cloud technology continues, so too does the demand for cloud-skilled professionals. To meet this demand, we’re sharing ways we are supporting businesses and professionals with new opportunities for training and certification.
Three new skill badges
Since June 2020, Google Cloud has been leading the way in awarding learning credentials, including skill badges and role-based certifications. To date, people have earned more than 1,500,000 Google Cloud skill badges, helping meet the need for more identifiable cloud-skilled talent.
Today, we’re excited to share that we've added three new skill badges, bringing our learning portfolio to 80+ skill badges covering in-demand topics ranging from security, data, and AI. To meet the global demand for cloud skills, several skill badges are available in 11 languages, with over 20 available in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.
These three new skill badges reflect areas of particularly high demand and opportunity, including data architectures, cybersecurity, and AI:
- [Introductory] Build a Data Mesh with Dataplex
- [Intermediate] Mitigate Threats and Vulnerabilities with Security Command Center
- [Intermediate] Build Custom Processors with Document AI
Of note, the Generative AI Fundamentals skill badge, which launched in June 2023, has been Google Cloud’s most rapidly adopted skill badge in history, reflecting the tremendous interest from learners, employers, and customers to implement generative AI technology. This skill badge is available in 11 languages, and was recently made available in Ukrainian and Polish at the Google Cloud Summit in Poland.
Through skill badges, Google Cloud issues verified digital credentials, upon completion of skills-based assessments. These skill badges can be shared on social platforms, often used by recruiters to identify talent for open roles.
