Google offers a Partner program for all Google Workspace for Education developers. We work
closely with hundreds of developer partners to build a thriving EdTech
ecosystem. Our goal is to make it easy for educators to access innovative and
impactful tools alongside our products.

## Partnership journey

There are two partnership levels. You'll first become a Build partner in Partner
Advantage, then join the Integrated Solutions Initiative to unlock more
partnership benefits. Both programs provide tangible benefits to your
organization and integrations with Google.

To get started:

- [Sign up](https://edu.google.com/intl/ALL_us/resources/get-started/find-a-partner/become-a-partner/) for the Partner Advantage program. Select the **Build** track under **Google Workspace**.
- Visit your new member profile.
- Complete Solution qualification. Submit proof of any [*eligible* Google Workspace for Education or
  Google Classroom](https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/gfe_build_partner_eligible_integrations.pdf).
- (Optional) [Apply for the Integrated Solutions Initiative](https://www.partneradvantage.goog/GCPPRM/s/partneradvantageportallogin?language=en_US).

Eligibility for each level depends on the number of integrations with Google Workspace for Education
that you have built:

- To qualify for Partner Advantage Build partner, you must build *at least one
  integration*
- To qualify for the Partner Advantage Education Integrated Solutions Initiative, you must meet the following requirements:
  - Build *at least three integrations*
