Testimonials
After completing the Grow with Google program I gained new skills in building a monthly budget for my income and expenses. I integrated the knowledge I learned from "Building Your Digital Skills" to take my personal spending plan from pen and paper to a Google spreadsheet and can confidently say that the electronic version for the past months is much more convenient to utilize. I will take the learning I have gained into my personal life as a conscious consumer, into my professional life as a Peer Financial Coach, and into my academic life as a Business Administration: Finance Concentration Major. - Angela A., Senior, Business Administration: Finance Concentration.
