Grow with Google

Google staff will teach a variety of hands-on workshops designed to give local businesses and residents the tools and resources they need to find jobs, advance their careers, and grow their businesses. Attendees are welcome to pre-register for specific workshops or drop in and sign up for one-on-one, 20-minute training sessions with Google staff for everything from how to set up an email account to ways they can advertise their business or create a resume.

Local nonprofits such as libraries, government agencies, and educational institutions will be invited to join the Grow with Google partner program: a free network for local organizations that provides a range of training content, tools, and promotional materials and best practices to continue sharing Grow with Google resources with their community.

Last year, Grow with Google committed $1 million to the American Library Association to fund the Libraries Lead with Digital Skills initiative. The Grow with Google workshops will also kick off a grant opportunity for Alaska libraries to apply to enhance their community digital skills programing. Applications for Alaska open March 5.
