Google has announced an expansion of its relationship with Goodwill to enable more individuals from underprivileged communities in the US and Canada acquire training in digital skills and literacy as part of its broader efforts to boost economic recovery in the aftermath of the epidemic.
With 10 million USD in investment, Google launched the Goodwill Digital Career Accelerator (GDCA) initiative in 2019. Google has decided to increase its financial support for the programme by 7 million USD, which will include Google.org awards.
Ten Google employees will be assigned full-time to help Goodwill better reach job searchers online so they can connect with local Goodwill career advisers through its Google.org Fellowship.
