Beginning in June, Illinois is partnering with
@coursera to provide unemployed workers with free unlimited access to 3,800 online courses and 400 specializations offered by over 160 of the best universities in the world – a level of access that normally costs $400 per year.
Unemployed workers in Illinois will be able to access formal Professional Certificates, such as the Google IT Support Professional Certificate, designed to train people without a college degree or technical background for high-demand IT jobs.
