'Dead' links and 'missing' systemic changes: Inside Google’s response to the George Floyd protests.
The two courses, however, aren't actually available for employees to sign up for and haven't been since the page was launched, according to the employees and multiple screenshots reviewed by NBC News. When employees went to the page, it said that there were no upcoming sessions they could sign up to take.
Google said it was not true that the diversity training courses on the Allyship page have not been available for registration and internal courses were available this week for those wishing to take one. The company said in a statement that workers who want to enroll in a course that doesn't appear available can be added to a waitlist.
Google's broader response to the protests has become a subject of discussion on the internal message board for the Black Googler Network, an employee resource group for black employees. On the board, hundreds of employees criticized the company for cutting anti-racism programs designed for white Google employees to learn about racial injustice.
Google said in a statement that it provides "a number of resources to all employees globally," which includes more than 150 resouces in its internal learning system. The company also outlined a number of mental health options it provides for all employees.
