Google Disrupts Higher Education: Students Take Classes and Receive Certificates, For High Paying In-Demand Skills - For Under $300...

This morning Google announced its plan to dismantle the world of college education. This includes the introduction of a new certification program designed to help people fill gaps in qualifications in areas of high-performance, high-paying developer jobs - specifically ones with no degree required.

This new tool may change the game for the growing number of people who think the education system is broken or for the millions of Americans who are currently unemployed following the Covid19 pandemic.

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an interview that "The pandemic has led to a truly horrible year, but it has also created profound shifts along the journey to digital transformation in ways no one could have imagined."

The program includes:

• Launch of three new Google scholarships in Coursera in operations management, data analysis and user experience (UX).
  
  
• Design new content for developers of Android applications.
  
  
• Partner with more than 130 employees who work with Google to hire graduates on Google Certificates Google's new search engine makes it easy to search for a job educationally, with no qualifications or experience.

Most applicants will close within 6 months, some can even be completed in three months. The average US student will spend about $240.

You can actually find and enroll in some of these now...

Google already offers basically the same thing though online learning platform Coursera, courses that end with people receiving a certificate of completion from Google.

So it's no surprise that the Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda is playing an important role in helping Google launch the new initiative.

Nancy Pelosi Set To Profit BIG - Speaker Grabs Tesla Stock Right Before Biden Announces Electric Car Incentives...

It was revealed over the weekend that House Speaker and California Representative Nancy Pelosi had acquired 25 call options for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ : TSLA) purchased at a share price of $500 and are set to expire March 18, 2022. Pelosi reportedly paid between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for the Options.

The ability of members of the U.S. Congress to buy and sell stocks has been contentious over the years. One of the most prominent members made some purchases in December that could benefit from the new Biden administration.

Right After Nancy's Move Into TSLA,  Biden Makes Announcement Causing Share Price To Rise...

Wow - Nancy sure has perfect timing! 

Tesla shares increased from $640 at the time the calls were bought and went up to $890 today. The call options were valued at $1.12 million.

Biden's push for electric vehicles, which could include lifting the cap on sales, would give buyers tax credits, to Tesla's advantage. Biden also floated the idea of a program that exchanged used vehicles for a larger credit towards the purchase of an electric car.

Pelosi's conflict will continue, and even intensify as clean energy initiatives that her family could benefit from will soon be on her desk, possibly in several segments.  Each bill passed will equal a big personal payday for the speaker.
