Education startup General Assembly, hot off raising a monster $70M round of funding, has partnered with Google to offer an immersive course on Android development.
It’s 12 weeks, full-time and will start being offered next year in NYC (January) and San Francisco (February), expanding to other campuses as the year goes on. The cost for students? $13,500, which can be financed. This is an important partnership for both companies, as Google can work closely with GA to make sure that developers are being trained in line with their principles, influencing what these developers may one day put out into the world and onto the platform.
GA’s CEO Jake Schwartz cites “tremendous demand” for app developers and says “Developing this course in partnership with Google allows us to provide students with the most relevant skills, ensuring a reliable pipeline of talented developers ready to meet the urgent demand of companies in the Android ecosystem.” They’ll probably help crank out some new employees for Alphabet’s Google, too.
