Santander and Google have 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 leverage the potential of this technology in both their work and personal lives. Registration is open until December 31st of this year through the Santander Open Academy platform.
Designed with accessible language, the course facilitates the understanding of AI concepts and their 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 learning path 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 obtain the best results from AI.
“This partnership is a unique opportunity for all professionals to become familiar 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.
Upon completion of the course, participants will undergo an evaluation on the presented content and, if they achieve a minimum grade, will receive a certificate of completion. This document may be used as proof for continuing education hours.
“There is no doubt that AI is revolutionizing our daily lives, especially in work environments, with a direct impact on the creation of new opportunities and professional profiles. Scholarships are an important tool for enhancing professional skills, increasing competitiveness in the job market, and adapting to current and future demands,” states Rafael Hernández, Global Vice President 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.
