Online Courses May Be Your Best Bet to Learn Tech - Robin White Goode, Black Enterprise

I recently received an e-mail from Coursera explaining the in-demand skills employers are looking for, and how Coursera could help me acquire them. Receiving the e-mail reminded me of the courses LinkedIn is now offering through LinkedIn Learning, its re-branded version of the Lynda.com courses. So, I Googled LinkedIn Learning and found a list of in-demand skills employers are looking for. You would think that it would be colleges providing a way for students to acquire such skills, but it’s organizations, like LinkedIn, Coursera, and others, are stepping in not only to identify the skill sets employers need in their new (and old) hires, but also to provide a cost-effective way for employees to learn those skills. http://www.blackenterprise.com/education/online-courses-best-bet-learn-tech/
