Google will train 2 million Android developers in India to compete with Apple in the region.
The Android Skilling program will launch for free across hundreds of universities and training centers this year. The program will also be available through the governments National Skills Development Corporation of India.

Say goodnight, Silicon Valley..............................
Note that they did no such thing for the citizens of the country that they currently depend on to ensure their freedom to do business and their property.
No reason they need to stay here. The old SGI campus will get another tenant when they leave.
Joke’s on you cause 90% of them are then getting an H1B and coming to America.
Train your own hackers.
It must be Google’s ambition to have Android surpass Windows as the most hacked operating system.
Only because there isn’t a single college educated IT programmer available in the entire US./s/
How much cheaper are they ?
Indian resumees are full of fraud. Explains why the Google Samsung Android OS is a POS.
(that has a rhyme to it)
> How much cheaper are they ?
If they stay in India but managed by US teams a project can be 30-40% of the cost. (Based on my off-shoring experience 5-10 years ago but India costs were increasing at then end of that job). If everything’s done in India (requirements, management, etc) 20-40% is normal but can be even lower or higher depending on the project and team.
If they come to the US with H-1Bs they’ll cost the same or more than US workers (assuming they come through a 3rd party and not google direct which is likely to avoid gov’t regulations and paperwork). But they won’t take the afternoon off to play Pokemon GO (I know of a few US devs who have). An occasional afternoon off is no big deal. But they can become frequent and workers don’t think it should be part of their vacation days because it’s part of the “work-life balance” the company owes them.
Seriously good luck with that Google - the good Indian devs are already here in the US, either H1B or full citizens. I’ve had the “pleasure” of working with overseas dev teams many times - always bolsters my feelings of job security.
So that’s where the jobs are.
The headline is misleading.
They are not “Training” 2 million in India.
They are not going to pay anybody to learn how to write programs for them.
Google has crafted an arraignment in which a large number of “approved Instructors” will be able to offer a “Course” at schools in India.
They may ultimately reach 2 million people but they are certainly not paying them.
The MSM will not complain at all when one of the foundations of the current tech-establishment abandons the country that gave them their start and seeks to replace their American workforce with people from elsewhere.
This madness will not end well.
Warned this over a year ago.
Prepare for the Great Unwind...
All, this is not about Google training future employees.
This is evangelism for the Google Android app development.
Microsoft, Apple, and Google all offer training and free tools to develop applications on their platforms. They all need to ensure they have lots of innovative applications available for their users. If they don’t, the platform weakens in the marketplace.
This isn’t about who writes the Operating System code or Google employment.
Prepare for the Great UNEMPLOYMENT and FALLING REAL ESTATE PRICES.......................
