The University of Michigan has partnered with Google to offer free access to Google Career Certificates and AI training courses to over 66,000 students across its campuses. These programs, available through Michigan Online, aim to develop critical skills such as cybersecurity, data analytics, and digital marketing. The partnership underscores the value of integrating traditional degrees with practical training to enhance employability. As technology evolves, learning how to learn becomes essential for students, reinforcing the idea that a college degree combined with job-ready skills can better prepare them for a competitive workforce.
In a world where technological change is accelerating, learning how to learn may be the most valuable skill for students to take with them.
Our partnership underscores the power of both-and: combining a college degree with flexible, high-impact programs prepares students to thrive in a dynamic workforce.
This is not about diluting the value of higher education; it's about enhancing it by equipping students with both intellectual tools and technical fluency.
The stakes are high as nearly 70 percent of recent college graduates face challenges in securing job-ready skills.
