In the 4th episode of Season 3, we covered the impact of adult learning on the workplace. In this week's episode, we take a deeper dive by reviewing 4 popular e-learning platforms: Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare, and LinkedIn Learning - with the primary focus being premium or paid subscription plans. As the value of skills upgrades take hold and the economy begins to stabilize, it's a great time to consider which e-learning platform could be a good fit for you!
With the pandemic changing our economy and way of life, it's challenging how we look at academia, adult learning, and its impact on the workforce. Some may be asking...Will higher-level degrees still be desired or required on job applications? Will skills upgrade courses be accepted as credible sources for educational requirements? If accepted, will employers prefer certain online learning platforms over others? Most importantly, how should job seekers choose the best options for their unique circumstances?
