Coursera (a massive open online course provider founded in 2012; in 2021 it was estimated that about 150 universities offered more than 4,000 courses through them) has released a “Global Skills Report”, highlighting the requests for courses and upskilling in various domains and in various parts of the world.

“75% of active learners spend less than three hours per week on coursework to advance their careers.”
