Graduating with Google Apps
May 12, 2011
To those of you graduating from college this spring, congratulations! You’ve reached a big milestone. As you prepare for this new stage, we want to help you bring what you’ve learned in college with you out into the world.
If you attended a university that’s “
gone Google
” or just sought out Google products on your own, you’ve learned how to use Google Apps to collaborate and communicate with your professors and peers. Perhaps you’ve used Gmail to power through email efficiently, Docs to revise group projects without the hassle of attachments, Calendar to keep up with extracurriculars, forms to quickly collect and analyze data or Sites to organize resources around your projects. Using these tools has equipped you with valuable expertise for life after college—just like the finance skills you learned in your major or the Spanish language abilities you picked up while studying abroad.
With this in mind, we’ve created the
Google Guides program
to help you take your Google Apps expertise to your future job. When you become a Google Guide, we’ll equip you with resources to introduce and implement Apps in your workplace. You’ll make an
immediate impact
by saving your company money and facilitating collaboration among coworkers. Once your company is up and running with Google Apps, you’ll get to continue using all the Apps tools you learned and
loved
in college—not to mention be known as your company’s in-house Google expert.
If you’re not sure where you’ll be picking up your paycheck yet, don’t fret. The Google Guides program also provides tips and tools for your job search, including resume templates.
You’ve learned a lot in college, so take all of your knowledge and skills to your first job.

FAQs
for more details.
Best of luck on whatever comes next!
