Coursera and Commonwealth of Learning Workforce Recovery Initiative



by Ministry of Education

THE INITIATIVE AIMS TO HELP UNEMPLOYED WORKERS REENTER THE WORKFORCE.

The Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations informs of the call for Applications to the Coursera and Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Workforce Recovery Initiative. Eligible citizens of Saint Lucia are invited to apply for an opportunity to register and enroll in one of several exciting university level courses offered online by Coursera.

The Workforce Recovery initiative is part of the Coursera community’s COVID-19 response which is aimed at helping countries, states, and cities reskill their unemployed workers to re-enter the workforce. While the Coursera platform offers several high quality and in-demand courses at no charge, participants in these courses would generally be required to pay a substantial fee to obtain the certificate when completed.



Successful applicants for this specific offer will not be required to pay a fee to receive their certificate upon successful completion of the course. Potential applicants should be guided by the following to determine their eligibility.

● Be unemployed

Lewis Community College or at a university)

● Be familiar with using a computer and a web browser

● Be interested in pursuing a course(s) related to programs of training identified on the
