As the young girl rounds the corner to her next activity with a gleeful “yayyyy,” Steven turns back to me, chuckling, “sorry about that, where were we?”. Truth is, I lost where we were. All that mattered in that moment was the pure joy that little girl had in knowing that in just two days time, she would once again get to work with Mr.

By Scott Shireman, Global Head of Coursera for Campus. In a competitive and fast-changing labor market, employers increasingly expect their entry-level talent to join their workforce already equipped with job-relevant skills and hands-on experience. At the same time, university-age students and their parents are thinking more critically about the ROI of traditional three and four-year degree programs: most notably, whether they will secure a job after graduation.
