The digital "Summer Academy" will enter its third round in the summer of 2022: Between July 25 and August 19, Google, together with numerous educational partners, will once again offer interested individuals and SMEs the opportunity to further their education free of charge and thus make themselves fit for the digital future.
The third Summer Academy offers practical training in a wide range of digital areas. Google is leading this offer together with educational partners such as the AWA-RAV, the FHNW and now also the Institute for Young Entrepreneurs IFJ, General Assembly and Glacier Carbon Reduction GmbH as well as with numerous experts. During four weeks, various free online training courses can be attended. This summer, for example, the initiative "Google Atelier Digital - seizing opportunities together" offered an up-to-date and high-quality learning program that promotes specific skills in the digital domain.
Live trainings and workshops
With training courses in a wide range of digital areas, the "Summer Academy" enables people from all walks of life and with a wide variety of backgrounds to expand their own skills and thus take a decisive step further in their professional development. These live trainings include, for example, workshops in the areas of Web analytics, Search engine marketing with Google Ads, Sales Automation or SEO basics for SMEbut also webinars from the soft skills area such as "Voice, speech and body language", How to run hiring interviews and manage the talent pipeline or #IamRemarkable. This year, for the first time, there will also be a session on a corporate sustainability strategy / climate transformation by the experts from Glacier (Every Job is a Climate Job) as well as from the IFJ for people who are thinking about becoming self-employed: From the Idea to Your Own Company - Your Path to (Partial) Independence. These are just some of the highlights.
Summer Academy as part of lifelong learning
With the "Summer Academy 2022", Google, together with qualified partners, wants to support even more companies, communities and private individuals in learning skills that will help them to better exploit the opportunities of digitalization. This is also confirmed by Patrick Warnking, Country Director Google Switzerland: "How can the success of Switzerland as a location for innovation be secured in the longer term? This question is highly relevant for many industries and startups in Switzerland as a research and development location and concerns them with regard to securing their future growth. It is continuing education and lifelong learning (#LLL) that are listed by many opinion leaders as critical success factors for achieving this goal; the future of work and the prosperity of us all will be very much shaped by, as well as dependent on, the digital skills of the workforce. Based on this motivation, we are also launching a mid-summer training offensive this summer together with partners and offer with the Summer Academy even more topics for personal digital upskilling. In addition to digital skills, the Summer Academy 2022 will therefore offer even more soft skills from long-standing partners as well as new experts - all free of charge."
