Santander and Google announced a groundbreaking partnership to offer a free Artificial Intelligence (AI) course focused on productivity. Titled "Santander | Google: Artificial Intelligence and Productivity," the training is available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, allowing participants to harness the potential of this technology both in the workplace and in personal life. Registrations can be made until December 31 of this year through the Santander Open Academy platform.
Designed with accessible language, the course facilitates understanding of AI concepts and its growing influence in the world of work. It offers essential tools to increase productivity, acquire basic knowledge, and develop skills to automate tasks, generate ideas, and solve problems more efficiently.
The course is divided into two modules. The first covers the basic principles of artificial intelligence and how it is transforming various sectors, as well as a pathway to learn how to use Google's Gemini tool, the company's new generation of AI models, to optimize productivity at work. The second module teaches participants how to automate tasks and develop precise commands to achieve the best results from AI.
“This partnership is a unique opportunity for all professionals to familiarize themselves with AI and acquire skills to boost their careers. Brazil is the country that uses this resource the most in Latin America, which shows the importance of all professionals in the market updating themselves with the best practices of this technology,” says Marcio Giannico, senior head of Governments, Institutions and Universities at Santander in Brazil.
After completing the course, participants will undergo an assessment of the presented content and, if they achieve a minimum score, will receive a certificate of completion. This document may be used as proof for supplementary hours.
“There is no doubt that AI is revolutionizing our daily lives, especially in the workplace, with a direct impact on the creation of new opportunities and professional profiles. Scholarships are an important tool for improving professional skills, increasing competitiveness in the job market and adapting to current and future demands,” says Rafael Hernández, global vice-director of Santander Universities.
"We are very pleased with the partnership with Santander to offer this free and accessible training to anyone, anywhere in the world," says Covadonga Soto, Marketing Director of Google Spain and Portugal. "This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to democratizing AI education and empowering people with the skills needed to thrive in the digital age. We believe that by making AI knowledge and tools accessible to everyone, we can unlock new opportunities for personal and professional growth," concludes the executive.
