The search engine giant also committed $150 million in grants over the next three years to support AI Education and Digital Wellbeing. This includes $3 million to code.org and $2 million to the Flourish Fund, a centralized website Google created for teachers and parents to provide best AI training in one place.

Code.org promised to “Engage 25 million learners in an Hour of AI in school year ’25/’26”. It will partner with 25 states during the next three years to build and promote AI pathways, AI Standards, and the AI Education Act.

Code.org will develop and scale a new free, open-source high school course – AI Foundations – focused on AI, reaching 400,000 US high school students annually by school year ’28/’29. It will also provide free, open-source AI+CS learning for 9M US K-8 students annually by school year ’28/’29”.

TalentConnect is a Victorian government platform connecting skilled migrants and international professionals in cyber and digital technology with employers across Victoria, Australia.

The TalentConnect website is built by Cturtle using its proprietary TalentMatch technology on behalf of the Victorian government’s skilled and business migration program.

With a global talent shortage, and an estimated 84 million candidate shortfall by 2030, Cturtle’s mission is to helps companies, governments, and universities track and engage global talent and alumni by using big data and AI-driven insights.

While its TalentMatch feature connects international graduates, alumni and high demand global talent with jobs, Cturtle is also being used by universities across Australia, the UK and the US in a number of different ways.

There are ways that universities can use the data that we have to help their rankings. That’s always a huge focus of the universities

“There are ways that universities can use the data that we have to help their rankings. That’s always a huge focus of the universities,” Shane Dillon, founder of Cturtle, told The PIE.

Cturtle equips universities with verified graduate data including employment rates, salaries, industries, and job locations, aligned with global ranking metrics. This helps institutions showcase impact by program, degree level, and graduate demographic.

According to Dillon, universities are also using the platform to track and reconnect with alumni. “We’re tracking their employment data, we tend to also have up-to-date contact information, so the universities can use that,” said Dillon.

Cturtle identifies and tracks alumni – even those not active in alumni networks – providing universities with a clearer picture of graduate outcomes and mobility.

Having these data insights, through a database of 2.5 million international alumni employment and salary outcomes, can also be useful in demonstrating the return on investment to the prospective students, the Cturtle founder told The PIE.

With growing calls from students for greater transparency, Cturtle provides data on graduate outcomes — including salaries, industries, and employers — for individual academic programs. The aim is to support recruitment, strengthen trust, and help institutions stand out in an increasingly competitive global education market.
