October 16, 2020
Virginia State University is starting a new program to help students become more career ready in a digitally-focused world, and it’s getting help from Google.
The search-engine giant has announced an initiative called the Grow with Google HBCU Career Readiness Program, in which it will provide 20 historically Black colleges and universities with workshops for students to improve their digital skills. Google has made a $1 million commitment to the program.
