Google partners with Generation UK to help young Britons pursue careers in cloud computing
The initiative, dubbed Katalyst, is an original concept by Richard Regan, Google Cloud’s lead engineering partner for the UK and Ireland, and aims to make cloud employment more available to those who are underrepresented in the region.
Regan says the idea for the Katalyst program came about after a CTO assembly at a Google networking event, where attendees complained about the lack of solutions in the cloud industry.
“Everyone in the room found that it was incredibly complicated to hire, exercise and retain the most productive skill in the cloud. I organized this forum, so I set out to think about the most productive way to solve this challenge and expand the pool of other qualified people. in the clouds. ” Regan wrote.
The reports of those attending the Google event coincide with the observations made by market analysts such as Gartner. The research company has already commented on the negative effect that the shortage of cloud capacities will have on the ability of companies to bring to light their virtual transformation plans in the coming years.
The company predicted in 2020 that a shortage of professionals with skills and experience in public cloud and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) deployments would force companies to wait two years or more to migrate their on-premises workloads.
“We wanted to do anything locally, to expand the pool of other qualified people available, preferably taking advantage of underrepresented groups,” Regan said.
He designed a cloud-based education program that would provide task-equivalent opportunities for other young people who might not have had the opportunity to move on to college, giving those teams a path to a growing, well-paid market.
Google reached out to skills charity Generation UK to launch the initiative quickly.
Generation UK specialises in providing education and education to Americans to place jobs in fields that are historically forbidden or inaccessible to them.
Katalyst’s pilot program lasts 12 weeks and includes technical and comfortable training.
During the course, participants will complete the Google Cloud Digital Leader certification, as well as much of the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification.
Once they get started at Google Cloud Partners, they’ll want to earn Google Cloud Associate Engineer certification within the first six months of their new role.
Attendees will then have the opportunity to meet and interview for the positions shown at Google Cloud Partners in London, with annual salaries of up to £30,000 (which is below average for an associate cloud engineer, but within the explanation of why for a new incumbent – Ed. ).
After a successful pilot project, Google intends to expand the initiative to locations in the UK and overseas, as well as to its customers’ organisations.
This is a wonderful initiative from Google and Generation UK. While the tech industry still has a long way to go, it has at least begun to recognize the importance of attracting other new people from underrepresented teams like women and ethnic minorities. However, until now, very little attention has been paid to other people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
