I believe you, but is there a source for the “0 people were hired” claim? It’ll be interesting to have as these programs become more popular.

That is a fair question. My answer is in the absence of evidence, or even any claim that Google specifically makes that X got hired because of Y Google Program and now works at Z.

I worked with two good reporters to look into this. There is no documentation one can find at https://grow.google/partners/ or at https://google.org. Those websites lead to perhaps 200 significant links, and we scoured every PDF on the sites. Also we checked LinkedIn for those who had the IT Support certs. Nothing.
