Google is pledging $50 million over the next two years to prepare workers for a 21st century job market that's being dramatically reshaped by powerful forces, including Google itself.
The Internet giant's philanthropic arm says it will fund innovative nonprofits using technology to train workers in new skills, connect job seekers with open positions and provide support for low-wage service workers. Nonprofits receiving grants from Google.org will also receive volunteer help from Google employees.
The commitment puts economic opportunity at the top of Google's philanthropic agenda, along with education and inclusion.
