Coursera rises to Africa's joblessness challenge
Up to one third of Africans may become jobless in 2020 while there is already 70-80% vulnerable employment in the informal sector. To reskill and mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 crisis, members of the Africa Growth Platform have come together with Coursera’s Workforce Recovery Initiative.
The programme offers free access to a catalogue of courses aimed at those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Government organizations can sign up to provide unemployed workers with access to more than 3,800+ courses and 400 specializations from Coursera’s university and industry partners.

Deadline for Governments to sign up: end September 2020

Programme end date: 31 December 2020
