As the employment landscape continues to change, workers are being tasked to learn new technologies and skills to stay competitive, according to a news release.
Studies show that on average, workers change jobs 12 times in their lifetime. This makes it essential to build new skills that align with industry trends and prepare for the shift toward workforce automation, the release said.
Gale Presents: Udemy offers a tailor-made learning experience for adults who want to upskill for a new job or advance in their current profession, according to the release.
Udemy has a wide selection of course topics, including thousands of courses taught by native speakers in 12 languages.
Major course categories include cloud computing, data science, design, development, finance and accounting, human resources, information technology operations, leadership and management, marketing, office productivity, personal development, project management and operations and sales.
Courses are added and removed weekly as new skills and demands emerge in each field, according to the release.
Supplemental course content such as assignments, quizzes and practice tests help along the way and a certificate of completion is available for download when a course is finished, the release said.
Anytime, anywhere access allows users to download classes offline and listen via podcast-style audio or on Chromecast or Apple TV, the release said.
"Gale Presents: Udemy is another free resource for (Lorain Public Library System) cardholders that aligns with our mission statement," said Jennifer Black, director of marketing and public relations for the Lorain Public Library System, in the release. "Connecting our communities to experiences that enrich, empower and inspire every day."
