UMBC students, faculty, staff, and recent alumni have free access this Spring to a collection of online, self-paced Google Career Certificate courses, three of which are relevant to AI. Completing a course results in receiving a Google Career Certificate that you can add to your resume.

The three AI-relevant courses are:

Google AI Essentials: Understand the foundations of AI and learn how to apply AI tools in everyday tasks. (< 10 hours)

Google Prompting Essentials: Develop advanced prompting techniques to generate more accurate AI-powered responses. (< 10 hours)

Data Analytics: Gain expertise in analyzing data, using SQL, and creating visualizations with Tableau and R. (8-course, 60 hours series)

This free program may only be available this Spring and is limited to 500 UMBC enrollments, so you should only sign up if you are committed to completing the course.
