There is a skills gap in the marketplace. In a 2013 study, only 15% of hiring managers said nearly all or most job seekers had the skills and traits their companies look for. There’s no better way to make yourself more attractive to a potential employer than to master something new. Lynda, Dash, Thinkful, Coursera and Udemy are helpful resources. All offer competitively priced online learning for a fraction of the cost of attending a traditional university. Better yet, students who take all or part of these types of courses online perform better, on average, than those taking the same courses through traditional face-to-face instruction.
