Google and the Massachusetts AI Hub are launching a new AI training initiative for the Commonwealth.

AI is creating new opportunities across the workforce.

Today, we announced with Governor Maura Healey that Google is partnering with the Massachusetts AI Hub to provide every Bay Stater with no-cost access to Google’s AI and career training through our Grow with Google program. This includes Google’s new AI Professional Certificate and the Google Career Certificates program. We’re excited to help Massachusetts residents learn how to use AI tools in their everyday work and create opportunities for career advancement. This partnership builds on our ongoing AI and career training commitments in Arkansas, Connecticut, Oklahoma and Virginia.

By equipping residents with essential AI literacy, Massachusetts is ensuring its workforce is prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Google is proud to call Massachusetts home with an office in Cambridge, and we’re committed to helping the state make AI literacy and professional training accessible to everyone.

Massachusetts residents can now access Google’s AI Training at no cost*.*

Grow with Google founder Lisa Gevelber and Governor Maura Healey meet with Google AI course graduates to discuss their journeys.
