Grow with Google Workshops

Google is bringing its “Grow with Google” tour to cities and towns across Alabama in early August. The tour will be stopping at the Birmingham Public Library’s Central Branch on Monday, August 6.

The economic opportunity initiative aims to help job seekers and small businesses learn the digital skills they need to succeed through onsite instructional training led by visiting Google teams, presenters, and coaches.

Organizers anticipate that their onsite “Grow with Google” instruction will ultimately enable job seekers to grow their skills and advance their careers; provide small business owners with tips to increase their online presence and find new customers; and assist startups in generating exposure for their ideas.

Throughout the course of the scheduled events, Google representatives will provide:

• Workshops focused on digital skills, coding, online safety, data analytics, improving online business presence – and more

• Available one-on-one coaching sessions on Google Spreadsheets and other GSuite Tools, in addition to Google AdWords, Google Analytics, Google My Business, Gmail and Google Calendar

• Onsite training for library, nonprofit and education professionals on how they can use Grow with Google’s free tools & resources to help small businesses & jobseekers in their own communities
