Google, in collaboration with Bertelsmann, funds 75 new Udacity scholarships to fill the gap in digital skills. In particular, according to the US company's blog, web and Android development courses will be organized for both beginners and more experienced programmers.
“The growing gap in digital skills has led the EU to predict that half a million jobs in the field of information and communication technologies will remain vacant by 2020”, it reads. “Last year, together with Bertelsmann and Udacity, we offered 10.000 Android scholarships dedicated to developers to help people achieve their goals. The very high number of requests for these courses pleasantly surprised us”.
Today "we are opening our challenge for 60 scholarships dedicated to web and Android development courses, aimed at both beginners and those who already program - writes Google again - Later in the year, Bertelsmann will offer another 15 scholarships of study in the field of Data Science aimed at beginners and advanced students. We will share more details on this in the coming weeks. We really hope this initiative will help scholarship recipients gain the skills they need to find a job or advance their careers.”
