The Trump administration has pushed corporate innovation as part of its jobs agenda. The goal is to train and prepare workers for the future.

On Thursday, White House adviser Ivanka Trump will meet with Google CEO Sundar Pichai in Dallas.

The certificate program trains workers for IT jobs, and no college education is required.

It trains workers within six months and trainees have access to 40+ company job openings that participate in Google's training software database.

A Google official says it will expand this program and make it available to more students in more states.

Google says so far 85,000 people have participated in the program.
