I was wondering why I find this less than appealing. I think it’s because it seems to me basically Google is giving a giant fuck you to “classical” education, assuming it can do in 6 months what everyone else needs 4 years to do. I remain unconvinced Google can do magic.
Google is launching Career Certificates. It will cost $300 only, you can complete in 6 months and Google will consider it equivalent to 4 years Bachelors degree when you will apply for a job at Google - Data Analyst, Project Manager, UX Designer etc - grow.google/certificates/

Hiring has told us that a university education can be valuable, and also that it’s not a necessary pre-requisite. Those things can both be true at the same time.
