The world of work is rapidly changing due to AI and cloud computing advancements. Google is launching three updates to its learning programs to help individuals and businesses thrive. A new platform, Google Skills, will consolidate nearly 3,000 courses and labs from various Google initiatives.

Additionally, a partnership with Jack Henry will facilitate skills-based hiring in financial services. Google Skills offers enhanced features for Google Cloud customers, including free access to content and personalized learning assignments.
