ABOUT COURSERA

Coursera is a web-based online learning platform with teachers from many universities to give everyone access to quality education without the expense of a traditional college or university. The courses include company-specific training programs from Coursera partners like Google and IBM, as well as courses in the areas of cloud computing, emerging technologies, machine learning, big data, and other business, skill, or career-specific training. Due to the “new normal” brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of employees need an upgrade or new skill on returning to the workforce.
