What is Google Cloud’s Project Katalyst Programme?
Earlier this year Google Cloud announced the initial UK pilot of its new Cloud Training
Programme, which has been designed to help increase the pool of available skilled talent in the market and prepare participants for their first role working with Google Cloud Partners. We caught up with Richard Regan, Head of Partner Engineering, UK and Ireland, Google Cloud for a deeper dive into the new cloud training programme and its key highlights.
Here’s what Richard Regan had to say.
Can you tell us more about Google Cloud’s Project Katalyst Training Programme and what this involves? Project Katalyst is a new cloud training programme. It has been specifically designed for underrepresented and underprivileged individuals who are looking to gain skills in Google Cloud’s technology and the workplace in general. With the initial pilot taking place in London this summer, our aim is to inclusively increase the pool of available skilled talent in the market and prepare participants for their first role working with Google Cloud Partners. Te Katalyst programme has provided Google Cloud with a fantastic opportunity to enable life-changing careers, support individuals who are eager to learn and provide an enjoyable experience working with us. To launch the programme quickly and on a large scale, we worked
with our partner Generation UK - a charity that prepares and supports people into careers. Together, over the last few months,
20 | August 2022
we’ve developed a Google Cloud curriculum specifically tailored for preparing individuals to start their first role with our Partners. Generation UK has developed a robust recruitment process to ensure individuals with the right motivation and potential are selected to participate. Generation UK’s drive and experience in this sector has been critical to ensuring we’ve taken the right steps to prepare, place and support people into careers that in other ways would have been inaccessible. Te Katalyst programme is a 12 week long initiative
which will consist of developing both professional employment and soſt skills, alongside more technical cloud skills. During the course, participants will
complete a Google Cloud Digital Leader certification, which provides individuals with the foundational knowledge of cloud technology and data. Tis training will also allow participants to work towards achieving the Associate Cloud Engineer certification within the first six months of joining a Google Cloud Partner. Tis certification will provide individuals with the fundamental skills of deploying, monitoring and maintaining projects.
