Sources and what we verifiedMDHEWD Virtual Learning page (any Missouri resident can register) ↗Missouri DESE announcement, September 8, 2026 ↗Google blog: Missouri and Google partner on AI and career training ↗

What we verified: Official pages confirm free resident access to Google Career Certificates and Google AI courses through jobs.mo.gov. No end date or cap stated. The pages say Google AI courses without listing which ones residents get; the Google blog names the AI Professional Certificate mainly in the education context, so coverage of specific existing credentials is not asserted.

Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
