Santander and Google have announced an unprecedented partnership to offer a free course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) focused on productivity. Entitled “Santander | Google: Artificial Intelligence and Productivity,” the training is available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, allowing participants to take advantage of the potential of this technology both in the workplace and in personal life. Registrations can be made until December 31 this year through the Santander Open Academy platform.
Designed in an accessible language, the course facilitates the 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 one covers the basic principles of artificial intelligence and how it is transforming various sectors, in addition to a track 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 AI results.
“This partnership is a unique opportunity for all professionals to become familiar with AI and acquire skills to leverage their careers. Brazil is the country that most uses this resource in Latin America, which shows the importance of all market professionals staying updated 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 evaluation of the presented content, and if they achieve a minimum grade, they will receive a certificate of completion. This document can be used as proof for complementary 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. The scholarship is an important tool to enhance professional skills, increasing competitiveness in the job market and adapting to current and future demands,” declares Rafael Hernández, global vice director of Santander Universidades.
“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 democratize AI education and empower people with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital age.
