This webinar will introduce local workforce and education leaders to a new partnership between the State of Illinois and Coursera. Coursera’s Workforce Recovery Partnership offers out-of-work Illinoisans the opportunity to take online courses and gain professional certificates for free, with a special emphasis on information technology skills and certificates. Enrollment is through Sept 30 and courses and certificates must be completed by Dec 31. Please note: taking a Coursera course does not affect Unemployment Insurance status or eligibility. 

This webinar will highlight:

• What is Coursera and how does it work?
• Why encourage someone to take these courses?
• How do I find Illinois Coursera online?
• What resources will be available to LWIA leaders and career coaches?
