Expanding access to the knowledge and skills people need to thrive
What we do
We support teaching, learning, and career readiness through digital skills and access to technology.

AI Literacy & Fluency

Equipping people with a deeper understanding of AI so they can use it confidently and responsibly

Developing inspiring AI training programs with Raspberry Pi
The Experience AI program supports educators as they help young people get inspired by and learn to safely use AI tools. This program was developed by Raspberry Pi and co-created with Google DeepMind through $10M in funding from Google.org.

Developing AI skill training at scale

With rapid advancements in AI and machine learning, it’s critical that young people and their educators feel confident navigating this emerging technology. We work with organizations that expand access to cutting-edge educational resources to facilitate AI skills-based training and education.

Career & Workforce Readiness

Providing job seekers with digital skills training and wraparound support to secure good jobs.

Growing the cybersecurity workforce
In collaboration with the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics, Google’s Cybersecurity Clinics Fund supports higher ed institutions expand career opportunities – letting students hone skills while helping local organizations combat cyber threats.

Expanding access to workforce development programs

We can support this next generation of jobseekers by reimagining skilling and upskilling pathways. Combining both foundational AI and specialized digital skills training – with wraparound support – provides essential workforce development programs in fields where demand for professionals is growing.

Building pathways to workforce development

Industry-aligned credentials and alternate pathways for non-college learners are key to ensuring that jobseekers have the tools they need to succeed. Through research, thought leadership, and ecosystem initiatives we provide support across sectors to ensure opportunities are available to those looking to develop their careers.

Supporting the Electricians Training ALLIANCE
There is a growing demand for trade skills that can construct the electrical infrastructure needed to support advancements in AI. By funding the Electricians Training ALLIANCE, the workforce gap can be reduced by advancing the skills of tens of thousands of workers and apprentices.

AI Opportunity Fund

Creating AI Models with DataKind to increase graduation rates
DataKind built an AI model with John Jay College to identify the students most at risk of dropping out. In two years, the graduation rate for seniors at John Jay College rose from 54% to 86%, with help from the AI model developed alongside Google.org fellows.

Building educator capacity with technology

We support educators with technology-enabled solutions that reshape education – from personalized learning and adaptive technologies, to enhanced teaching tools and innovative assessments. By giving educators the time back to do what they love, we continue to support the next generation of learners.

Developing educational products and tech

We incubate, launch, and off-ramp educational innovations alongside the ecosystem to ensure sustainable impact.
