Tech behemoth Google today launched a Startup School, which will offer a series of free, hands-on virtual courses for startup founders and their teams across Asia Pacific.
Combining business goals with metrics to run data-driven companies, the program hopes to equip leaders with the tools and skills to advance and scale their startups.
The trainings, which run two to three times per week, will introduce startups to Google's diverse tools, including Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Google Cloud.
Founders will learn how to use these tools to support their businesses and join trainings on digital marketing and business strategy led by Googlers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders from around the world.
"We’ve provided training programs for startups for years, but last year was the first time we fully went digital," said Michael Kim Head of Google for Startups, APAC in a blogpost.
"Startup School expands on that experience. With this new program, we hope to arm startups to help them tackle the major issues of our region," he added.
