Help ensure training is as effective and as wide-reaching as possible. <\/b>
\nMillions are spent each year on work skills and technical training programs, but there isn\u2019t much visibility into how these programs compare, or if the skills being taught truly match what will be needed in the future. So some of our funding will go into research to better understand which trainings will be most effective in getting the most people the jobs of the future. Our grantee Social Finance<\/a> is looking at which youth training programs most effectively use contributions from trainees, governments and future employers to give people the best chance of
\nsuccess.<\/p>\n

Helping prepare for the future of\u00a0work<\/b><\/a>\u00a0— from google.org
\nWork is changing. That\u2019s why Google.org is committing $50 million to support nonprofits that are expanding economic opportunity for everyone.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The way we work is changing. As new technologies continue to unfold in the workplace, more than a third of jobs are likely to require skills that are uncommon in<\/span> today\u2019s workforce<\/a>.<\/strong> Workers are increasingly working independently<\/a>. Demographic<\/a> changes<\/a> and shifts in labor participation<\/a> in developed countries will mean future generations will find new ways<\/a> to sustain economic growth. These changes create opportunities to think about how work can continue to be a source of not just income, but purpose and meaning for individuals and communities.Technology can help seize these opportunities. We recently launched Google for Jobs<\/a>, which is designed to help better connect people to jobs, and today we\u2019re announcing Google.org\u2019s $50 million commitment to help people prepare for the changing nature of work.<\/span> <\/strong>We\u2019ll support nonprofits who are taking innovative approaches to tackling this challenge in three ways: (1) training people with the skills they need, (2) connecting job-seekers with positions that match their skills and talents, and (3) supporting workers in low-wage employment. We\u2019ll start by focusing on the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia, and hope to expand to other countries over time.<\/p>\n
