Colleges are losing students. Is that a growth opportunity for Coursera?

From EdSurge: “These days, colleges are finding it hard to keep students coming through their doors. … To Coursera … this may represent an opportunity to serve as an institutional bridge for some of these universities in the struggle to stop the bleeding. The company’s latest attempt, launched today, is its ‘Career Academy for Institutions,’ … The academy is intended to build on Coursera’s business offerings by adding entry-level certificates from Meta—the company formerly known as Facebook—and IBM, as well as altering the user experience for its certificates to better show how they lead to jobs. It’s being marketed to universities, businesses and governments as a way to help connect people to in-demand digital jobs and skills.”
