Reston, va. (AP)-The Republican governor Glenn Youngkin announced on Tuesday that Google will work together with his administration to offer Virginians free and inexpensive artificial intelligence certification courses as part of the ongoing efforts of his office, to combine citizens with novel jobs because the state’s economy is changing.
The partnership, which he referred to as Ki Career Launchpad, will be offered at a certain point in time for up to 10,000 Virginians sponsored AI training courses, officers said in the Google office in the northern part of the state.
The training opportunities are listed on a job website that Youngkin launched at the beginning of this year in response to significant layoffs of federal workers by the Trump administration, including many workers from Virginia.
“All areas, all career movements somewhere on the way, will include this next generation of technology,” said Youngkin at the press conference.
The initiative consists of unemployment in Virginia, which continues to have unemployment claims around 20,400, said the Labor of George ‘Bryan’ Slater Labor Minister after the press conference. In the first week of July, around 2,800 people initially submitted unemployment claims, which is about 6.1 percent higher than in the previous week.
On the AI website, the free courses as well as some cost-effective learning opportunities are offered, the community college and universities that lead from beginners-friendly courses on AI bases and practical applications of artificial intelligence to boot camps and study programs from Virginia in Virginia in Virginia.
Nicole Overley, Commissioner of Virginia Works, said that companies have informed their office that the AI competence in their industries has become increasingly necessary. She said the training would support Virginians become competitive in the labor markets in which these shops stop.
