Data Analytics<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Google says that data analysts can earn $66,000 a year (median) and analyze data and make data-driven recommendations to inform essential business decisions. The certificate provides the tools for \u201cnavigating the data lifecycle using tools and platforms to process, analyze, visualize and gain insights from data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

User Experience (UX) Design<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Google says a UX designer can earn $75,000 a year (median) and help create a simpler, more accessible and more enjoyable experience for users. Google says this online certificate provides \u201cthe foundations of UX design and research, building low-fidelity designs and wireframes, creating high-fidelity prototypes and testing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>These three new programs follow the Google IT Certificate, which Google launched in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Apply: Next Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The online certificates are developed solely by Google and take approximately three to six months to complete. There are no prior educational or previous work experience requirements. The courses are hosted through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coursera<\/a>, which is an online platform. While Coursera charges a monthly fee, Google will provide 100,000 need-based scholarships to cover the costs.
