Spotted some updates while completing your skill badges?
That’s because we’re now Google Skills!
Technology keeps changing — and so do the skills we need to keep up. From typing your first email to building machine learning models, Google has spent over two decades helping people everywhere adapt, grow, and thrive in the digital age.
Now, as AI reshapes how we work, learn, and create, the demand for AI expertise has never been greater. That’s where Google Skills comes in — a single, unified platform to help everyone build the knowledge that powers the future.
With nearly 3,000 courses, labs, and credentials, Google Skills brings together the best of Google Cloud, Google DeepMind, Grow with Google, and Google for Education — all in one place. Whether you’re exploring AI for the first time or leading an enterprise transformation, this is your new home for learning, hands-on experience, and career growth.
What You Can Do with Google Skills
Learn from the best at Google:
Over 26 million learners have completed Google courses, labs, and credentials in the past year — and now, they’re all in one place.
Start with an entry-level Google AI Essentials course, move up to a learning path or certification from Google Cloud, or explore AI Research Foundations with Google DeepMind to deepen your understanding of large language models.
Short on time? Try AI Boost Bites — quick, 10-minute lessons to keep your skills sharp.
And if you’re a leader shaping your organization’s AI future, the Future-Proof Your AI Learning Strategy course offers practical insights from companies like Telus and Deutsche Bank.
Get hands-on experience:
Build real-world skills and show what you know with skill badges, certificates, and professional certifications.
You can even experiment with Gemini Code Assist in interactive AI labs — and earn the new Gemini Code Assist skill badges while you’re at it.
Stay motivated with gamified learning:
Learning feels easier (and a lot more fun) when it’s interactive. With streaks, progress trackers, and shareable achievements, Google Skills keeps you inspired and moving forward — and 95% of learners say gamified experiences make them more engaged.*
How Google Skills Helps Businesses Hire Faster
Building skills benefits both learners and employers. Companies like Jack Henry are using Google Cloud Certificates to identify and fast-track qualified candidates — creating direct pathways from learning to employment.
Google Skills also makes it easier than ever to build the expertise you need — especially in AI. You’ll find hundreds of no-cost learning options, from the Generative AI Leader learning path to beginner-friendly AI courses (no experience needed).
