Google’s Free Generative AI Training & Certification for Veterans | Register Now

Propel Your Career: Unlock High-Paying Tech Roles with Google's No-Cost Generative AI Training for Veterans!


Empowering US and Canada military veterans and service members with cutting-edge AI skills and a Google-recognized certification to lead digital transformation.

As a leader at Google Public Sector, Karen Dahut, whose values were shaped by her father's 42 years of naval service and her own time in the Navy, understands the profound sense of purpose and leadership skills that veterans bring to the table. It's with this deep respect that Google Public Sector is thrilled to announce that registration is officially open for the next cohort of Google Launchpad for Veterans, a no-cost, three-week virtual training program designed to equip veterans with foundational generative AI skills for rewarding careers.

Google Public Sector's Commitment to Service and Innovation

Google Public Sector is dedicated to supporting the federal government and its workforce through advanced AI and secure cloud infrastructure. Over the past year, significant strides have been made, including a Google Workspace discount for federal agencies, the introduction of "Gemini for Government" providing comprehensive AI tools at a low annual cost, and a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense's (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) to accelerate AI and cloud adoption.

Beyond these initiatives, Google Public Sector is deeply committed to empowering our nation's veterans. While veterans bring immense value and leadership, the transition to civilian life can present challenges such as underemployment and difficulties in securing meaningful work. Google Public Sector aims to change this narrative by providing the skills and resources needed for successful career transitions.

Introducing Google Launchpad for Veterans: Your Path to AI Leadership

First introduced in 2024, the Google Launchpad for Veterans program has already made a significant impact, training over 4,000 veterans last year to help them transition into high-paying tech roles. This year's program continues that mission, offering participants:

  • In-demand skills to thrive in both functional and technical positions.
  • Knowledge to drive digital transformation through AI within any organization.

This virtual, no-cost program is open to US and Canada military veterans and service members, making cutting-edge AI education accessible to those who have served.
