Job training (BETA)

For job seekers and prospective students looking to acquire marketable skills for their next role, it's often difficult to find programs, compare cost, and know which jobs are in demand. The goal of the job training experience on Google Search is to help people discover a new career path and acquire skills for their next job. Learn more about the job search experience on Google.

To be eligible for the job training experience, add structured data to your program web pages. Structured data helps Google better understand the content of your page, and therefore enables Google to better surface job training programs to users. If you're getting started with structured data, read our guide to Understand how structured data works.

How to add structured data

Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a page and classifying the page content. If you're new to structured data, you can learn more about how structured data works.

Here's an overview of how to build, test, and release structured data. For a step-by-step guide on how to add structured data to a web page, check out the structured data codelab.

  1. Add the required properties. Based on the format you're using, learn where to insert structured data on the page.
  2. Follow the guidelines.
  3. Validate your code using the Rich Results Test.
  4. Deploy a few pages that include your structured data and use the URL Inspection tool to test how Google sees the page. Be sure that your page is accessible to Google and not blocked by a robots.txt file, the noindex tag, or login requirements. If the page looks okay, you can ask Google to recrawl your URLs.
  5. To keep Google informed of future changes, we recommend that you submit a sitemap. You can automate this with the Search Console Sitemap API.

Guidelines

You must follow these guidelines to be eligible to appear in the job training experience on Google.

Eligibility for Inclusion

To be eligible to appear in Google's listing of job training programs, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Your web page includes all required structured data properties.
  • Eligible programs must lead to occupations that require less than a bachelor's degree. This includes certificate programs, associate degrees, and other programs that require full-time enrollment of up to around two years, where students pay to attend. For example, community college programs, private college programs, employer-run education, NGO-led education, and occupation-specific education.
  • For programs that pay a wage, there is no limit to the length of the program. For example, employer-run apprenticeships, on-the-job trainings, and union and NGO apprenticeships.
  • The program must match occupations that are in-demand in your area.
  • The program accepts applicants with no degree beyond a high school diploma.
  • The completion of the program prepares students for an occupation. Preparatory courses aren't accepted.
  • The program must have a local presence. Online-only programs are not accepted.
  • Programs that require students to pay to attend are eligible, as long as the programs are intended to be around two years or less for full-time enrolled students.
  • Programs that train for a job but don't have credits or don't lead to a degree are allowed.
  • For the small subset of occupations that have programmatic accreditation according to the US DoE, programs must have programmatic accreditation (for example, physical therapy assistant).

Even though the feature is focused on a subset of programs, you can implement markup on all of your programs should this feature or other features use this information in the future.

Structured data type definitions

This section describes the structured data types related to the job training experience on Google. Programs must add one of the following types based on the type of program:

If your institution has an accreditation from a certification board, use the EducationalOrganization properties. You can add EducationalOrganization to a top-level page on your site, or as a provider field for a specific program.

You must include the required properties for your content to be eligible for display in enhanced Search results. You can also include the recommended properties to add more information about your content, which could provide a better user experience.

EducationalOccupationalProgram

The full definition of EducationalOccupationalProgram is available at schema.org/EducationalOccupationalProgram. The following properties are required for programs with a cost or are available without cost. If the program is work-based, add the WorkBasedProgram properties instead.

Required properties
applicationDeadline

DateTime

The date at which the program will stop accepting applications in ISO-8601 format. If applications are rolling, specify the latest possible date the program will accept an application.

"applicationDeadline": "2020-04-01T19:30"

If the program is offered more than once per calendar year, specify multiple dates in a list. 

"applicationDeadline": [
  "2020-04-01T19:30",
  "2020-08-01T19:30"
]
identifier.propertyID

Text

The key for a PropertyValue entry that specifies the type of identifier. Programs are required to specify two types of identifiers:

CIP2010

The 6 digit CIP code, as published in the 2010 specification from the US Department of Education.

ProgramID

A unique program identifier, as used by the institution (if applicable).

For example:

"identifier": [
  {
  "@type": "PropertyValue",
  "propertyID": "CIP2010",
  "value": "12.3456"
  },
  {
  "@type": "PropertyValue",
  "propertyID": "ProgramID",
  "value": "CS-101"
  }
]
identifier.value

Text

The value for a PropertyValue entry. The value must correspond to the specified propertyID.

For example:

"identifier": [
  {
  "@type": "PropertyValue",
  "propertyID": "CIP2010",
  "value": "12.3456"
  },
  {
  "@type": "PropertyValue",
  "propertyID": "ProgramID",
  "value": "CS-101"
  }
]
name

Text

offers

Offer

The estimated cost for the program, if applicable. The estimated cost can be the total cost of the program or broken down by tuition, fees, and other costs. The cost must be the cost for in-state residents who don't have aid.

Additional guidelines:

  • Offer.price_specification.price must be a number (no other text is accepted).
  • Only include fees that are related to the program. For example: scrubs, estimated cost of required textbooks, shopping cart fees.
  • Don't include fees that aren't required to complete the program. For example, post-graduation tests, pre-admission tests, room and board, health care, child care.

Example of total cost

If you know the total cost, provide one Offer with that total cost program, including tuition, fees, books, materials, and supplies of any educational component. For example: 

{
  "@type": "Offer",
  "category": "Total Cost",
  "priceSpecification": {
    "@type": "PriceSpecification",
    "price": 16200,
    "priceCurrency": "USD"
   }

Example of a cost breakdown

If you know tuition and fees separately, you can submit them to us separately, and we will add them together for a total cost. For example: 

[
  {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Tuition",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 16000,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
  },{
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Program Fees",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 200,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
  }
]

Example of a tuition calculation breakdown

If you need to calculate tuition based on per credit cost and number of credits, with fees separately, you can submit them to us separately, and we will add them together for a total cost. For example, $400/credit X 40 credits = $16000 cost, plus $200 in fees for a total cost of $16,200: 

[
  {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "CostPerCredit",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 400,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
   }, {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Program Fees",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 200,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"

      "priceCurrency": "USD"
   }, {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Program Fees",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 200,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
  }
]

offers

Offer

The estimated cost for the program, if applicable. The estimated cost can be the total cost of the program or broken down by tuition, fees, and other costs. The cost must be the cost for in-state residents without aid.

Additional guidelines:

  • Offer.price_specification.price must be a number (no other text is accepted).
  • Only include fees that are related to the program. For example: scrubs, estimated cost of required textbooks, shopping cart fees.
  • Don't include fees that aren't required to complete the program. For example, post-graduation tests, pre-admission tests, room and board, health care, child care.

Example of total cost

If you know the total cost, provide one Offer with that total cost program, including tuition, fees, books, materials, and supplies of any educational component. For example: 

{
  "@type": "Offer",
  "category": "Total Cost",
  "priceSpecification": {
    "@type": "PriceSpecification",
    "price": 16200,
    "priceCurrency": "USD"
   }

Example of a cost breakdown

If you know tuition and fees separately, you can submit them to us separately, and we will add them together for a total cost. For example: 

[
  {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Tuition",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 16000,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
  },{
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "Program Fees",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 200,
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
  }
]

Example of a tuition calculation breakdown

If you need to calculate tuition based on per credit cost and number of credits, with fees separately, you can submit them to us separately, and we will add them together for a total cost. For example, $400/credit X 40 credits = $16000 cost, plus $200 in fees for a total cost of $16,200: 

[
  {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "category": "CostPerCredit",
    "priceSpecification": {
      "@type": "PriceSpecification",
      "price": 400,
