Free trialYou asked for it, we listened! Today we’re announcing the Cloud Digital Leader learning pathway, our first offering for business professionals that includes both training and certification.
The Cloud Digital Leader learning pathway is designed to skill-up individuals and teams that work with technical Google Cloud practitioners so they can contribute to strategic cloud-related business decisions.
A Cloud Digital Leader understands and can distinguish not only the various capabilities of Google Cloud core products and services, but also how they can be used to achieve desired business goals.
We asked one of our customers that participated in the beta why they are excited about this new offering and they said:
"ANZ is transforming its technology landscape by addressing the size and complexity of our current estate and fully embracing cloud. Our strategic advantage has always been our people; they are crucial to the transformation. One of the best ways to ensure they are set up for success is to provide relevant learning opportunities. The benefit of the Google Cloud Digital Leader certification is it provides general cloud knowledge and a shared language across the bank so no one is left behind. This means our technology teams as well as our business and enablement teams.", Michelle Dobson, Head of Cloud COE & Enablement, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited
