Grow with Google: Free Digital Skills Workshop & One-On-One Coaching

Google is coming to Salt Lake City, Utah as part of the tech company’s ‘Grow with Google’ initiative. ‘Grow with Google’ aims to help create economic opportunity in communities across the United States by providing free training, tools, and expertise for people across their country to grow their skills, careers, and businesses.

We are excited to work with the Salt Lake City Public Library and our statewide partners to provide digital skills training for Utah’s small business owners and jobseekers. By bringing ‘Grow with Google’ workshops to the state, we are making a commitment to help develop a skilled workforce that can meet the evolving needs of Utah’s growing economy,” said Erica Swanson, Google’s Head of Community Engagement.

Throughout the day Google staff will teach a variety of hands-on workshops aimed to provide local businesses and residents with tools and resources to find the jobs they want, advance their careers and grow their businesses. Attendees are welcome to pre-register for specific workshops, or drop in and sign up for one-on-one 20 minute training sessions with Google staff for everything from how to set up an email account, to ways they can advertise their business, or create a resume.

Local nonprofits - libraries, government agencies, educational institutions and more - will also be invited to join the ‘Grow with Google’ partner program; a free network for local organizations which provides a range of training content, tools and promotional materials and best practices to continue sharing ‘Grow with Google’ resources with their community.
