Coursera's global CEO says companies now look for candidates with both offline and online qualifications - Nidhi Singal, Business Day

The advent of Covid-19 saw online learning platform Coursera clocking high growth, going from 47 million learners worldwide at the beginning of the pandemic to 77 million in just one year. Professionals acknowledged the need for upskilling and reskilling for better career prospects, with many management students and executives opting for a professional certificate along with a management degree, says CEO Jeff Maggioncalda. "This space has changed tremendously. And it’s going to be some kind of a new normal. What the pandemic did was it made virtually every campus in the world shut down. Now, what’s been interesting is that people are going back to campuses, but they are still learning online. There’s that permanent presence of online learning."https://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/interview/story/courseras-global-ceo-says-companies-now-look-for-candidates-with-both-offline-and-online-qualifications-351693-2022-11-03
