About the job

The Google Project Management apprenticeship is a Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program and a structured learning and development opportunity. Apprentices will participate in on-the-job training, related technical instruction, and career development workshops to develop professional and durable skills. Upon completion, apprentices receive a nationally-recognized credential, certified by the United States Department of Labor.

As a Project Management apprentice at Google, you will develop the skills you need to pursue an entry-level career in project management.

You will have exposure to a wide range of project management tools and concepts, working alongside a team of Program or Project Managers at Google. You will receive training on planning, organizing and running projects so they can be delivered on time and within budget. You will learn to work cross-functionally with various teammates to execute and keep everyone on track, while monitoring project implementation and addressing process roadblocks. You will gain experience communicating with different audiences through various communication methods (e.g., slides, docs, etc.). You may develop knowledge within the domain of your assigned program team.

Apprentices are paid hourly for their time split between on-the-job training and related technical instruction, and are required to dedicate 40 hours each week to the program. Apprenticeships begin with an immersive virtual onboarding experience to build a foundational understanding of the profession. Apprentices will then join a Google team to train on-the-job, while continuing to engage in track-specific learnings and career workshops throughout the program. As part of the program, apprentices receive holistic career readiness support, and towards the end of the program will have the time and space to prepare for their next endeavor.
