EdSurge recently sat down with Clarissa Shen, Udacity’s chief operating officer, to learn more about how Udacity selects what will be taught on its platform and its industry-centered education strategy. Here’s an excerpt of the interview, which has been edited and condensed: With the so-called ‘new collar economy,’ there are a lot of jobs popping up that haven’t existed, and a lot of jobs that do exist that are going away. There’s a little bit of art and science to this. I won’t say we always get it right, but I think we look at not just the number of jobs, but growth for those jobs. Because certainly, there’s a lot of jobs that you could say are out there but they may be actually declining. So, we want to always look at where the options are, that they’re at least growing.
