But it's not just the training guide that's causing a stir. There are also constant developments in the digital sector that are worth paying attention to. This is what the tech giant has done Google continues to establish itself as an important player in the market. Founded in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the company has developed enormously since then. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Google now employs approximately 187,000 people and has dominated the search engine market in recent years. The company processes over a billion searches every day.

Google is not only known for its search engine, but also has numerous services and products in its portfolio, including Google Drive, Gmail and YouTube. The brand is considered one of the most valuable in the world, but it also has to repeatedly face critical voices, especially with regard to data protection and market dominance. There have been several significant events in recent years, including the EU's €4.34 billion fine in 2018 for anti-competitive practices and recent antitrust lawsuits.

A future full of possibilities

Google's future projects show that the provider will continue to be innovative. The further development of AI technologies and cloud services as well as the integration of Google Meet and Google Duo into a common platform are just some of the exciting projects that lie ahead. This underlines how important it is to anchor digital education in training guides in order to optimally prepare young people for the challenges of the future.

The publication of the training guide and developments at Google are just two facets of a dynamic environment in which education and technology are closely linked. Training and educating young people remains crucial to sustainably combating the region's skills shortage and paving the way for the next generations. We can stay excited to see what new horizons open up to us!
