Google’s free virtual workshops for small-medium businesses during COVID-19

Small and medium businesses around the world are currently facing unprecedented challenges. “How do I keep in touch with my customers and staff?” “What should I use to keep the business running smoothly?” But just as every cloud has a silver lining, these uncertain times present the opportunity for businesses to develop new digital skills and emerge stronger than before.

Google has announced a free virtual workshop as part of our commitment to help Pakistani businesses cope with remote working and transitioning into digital. It’s a course developed from our Grow with Google program that we have transitioned virtually during the COVID-19 restricted movement period.

Pick the time slot that works best for you from the following dates. Sign up here for the free workshop that focuses on handy digital tools as well as tips and tricks for small businesses that are looking for ways to connect and stay in touch with both customers and employees. Each hour-long session will be conducted live by Google trainers. These sessions will not be recorded, so don’t miss out.
