Google is set to kick off Grow with Google 2020 with a new series of Digital Garage briefings. The series is free to attend and the first event will take place on Friday, February 7th, at Google EMEA HQ, Dublin. Grow with Google is a global initiative designed to train people and businesses in key digital skills that will empower them to embrace the new business and commercial opportunities that technology presents.
The series will run as a year-long course, with each monthly module designed to support local businesses, start-ups and SMEs that may be new players in the digital arena, or are in the early stages of developing a digital strategy.
The monthly sessions are also open to people and businesses in all sectors that could benefit from digital skills training. Delivered by experienced Google specialists, the topics to be covered throughout the 2020 course include; how to make your website work, optimizing your ad campaigns, the basics of Google ads, learning the fundamentals of online marketing and how to use YouTube to grow your business.
Commenting, Marie Davis, Head of Google Customer Solutions Ireland, said: “We strongly believe at Google that Irish businesses require up to date digital skills to run their business successfully in today’s technology-focused world. This is especially important for small businesses and SMEs that are facing an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Our goal is to help equip business people, entrepreneurs and founders with the digital tools and expertise necessary to drive success, and give them the confidence to use these skills effectively in running and growing their business.”
The Digital Garage series has been redesigned to directly respond to the evolving needs of start-ups and SMEs over 11 modules. The monthly events taking place in the first half of the year will focus on the important tools and resources available to businesses, before exploring advanced digital strategies with advice and support from Google experts in the second half of 2020.
Grow with Google will also hit the road, building on the 2019 regional tour, with a series of half-day workshops set to take place in Kilkenny, Kildare, Mayo, Cork and Donegal.
“The Grow with Google programme has already trained more than 10 million people in digital skills across EMEA and we are committed to ensuring Irish people and companies from across the country are at the forefront of digital innovation,” concluded Marie Davis.
Digital Garage is free to attend but registration is essential:
