Prepare your students for careers with the cloud. Access cloud credits for hands-on learning, the Cloud Computing Foundations curriculum, and the Career Readiness program.
Apply for cloud credits for your students. Eligible faculty can apply to receive up to $100 in Google Cloud credits per teaching staff, up to $50 in Cloud credits per student, up to 5,000 Google Cloud Skills Boost credits, certification discounts, and more.
Apply to use the Cloud Computing Foundations curriculum to teach students who have little to no experience in cloud at no cost. The 40 hour curriculum covers critical concepts to prepare learners.
Coach students through one of three tracks as part of an on-demand learning program designed to help prepare your students for certification and careers in cloud.
Getting started with Google Cloud
If you’re new to Google Cloud, you’ll want to explore these essential resources to help you get started and make the most of cloud tools and technologies. To start learning at no cost, apply for credits to use towards Google Cloud, Google Cloud Skills Boost learning resources, and more.
