"We need new, accessible job-training solutions--from enhanced vocational programs to online education--to help America recover and rebuild."
Call me a cynic but part of me feels like this is really about helping Google lubricate the gears of their own recruiting pipeline.

- zamalek 6y agoCool. Google pays well, is a strong point on your CV, and these courses look like they will be cheap. I don't see the problem with that.

Universities tend toward teaching long term fundamentals though, as opposed to hot technologies that just appeared and will be mostly gone or outsourced after the next bubble is over.
