NCS today announced the launch of its Google Cloud Academy in Australia, a strategic initiative designed to cultivate a new generation of specialist cloud professionals. This program addresses the growing demand for advanced cloud and AI expertise across both the public and private sectors in Australia.

As a local execution of NCS Group’s AI and Digital Resilience (AI+DR) initiative announced earlier this month at the NCS IMPACT 2025 conference in Singapore, Google Academy will provide intensive training and certification for a diversity of participants in advanced Google Cloud technologies.

The program is designed to create dedicated career pathways for Australian veterans and Indigenous Australians to follow dedicated technology career pathways and reflects NCS Group’s region-wide commitment to strengthening talent pipelines for the Australian technology industry.

Graduates will emerge as certified experts with hands-on experience and skills in AI, cybersecurity, and data modernisation on Google Cloud, giving them in-demand skills to help Australian organisations accelerate their digital transformation journeys securely and effectively.

This investment is another step in NCS Australia’s continued work and partnership with the Google Cloud business, collaboratively working to strengthen the technology ecosystem in Australia.
