Reminder: Check with your state to see if there are still federal 2020 CARES money available. Your state will pay for all training and certifications, and in some states, they pay you to go. Everything from CDL's to IT certifications. It's supposed to have been for people with no experience, but they didnt show up. Now it's available to pretty much anyone. I got my low voltage electrician's certification last year because some corporations and retailers now require it when you run network cable. (Pretty dumb IMO) You have to go through your state's department of labor (or whatever name they use). Unemployment departments no longer run this. If you've already taken advantage of it, and there's still money available after Jan 1st, you can get more free training and certifications.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you check with your state? what does that mean?

Will this allow us to earn the Deep Learning AI certificates? Those courses are all hosted on Coursera.

Update, found the answer: "deeplearning.ai and Stanford University courses are excluded from Coursera plus."

Then it's a no from me. Those are the only ones I'm interested in.

I don't really think coursera certs are worth a dime on your resume..what's more is getting certs from the vendor itself like Oracle , Msft Amazon Aws or CISSP CEH etc.

I doubt coursera or linkedin certs validation really is worth to future employers..IMHO 0.02$

Linkedin certs are worth nothing.
Coursera, when done from a reputed college/uni are worth something. IMO worth putting on your resume in a certifications/ learning section, but not in "Education/Degrees".

Doesn't the library give free access to this?

my library does! I'm not sure if the "plus" version is different though, worth a check!

The only certs employers care about are CompTIA, AWS, MSFT, etc. No one cares about datacamp certs or coursera certs.

The knowledge of them is still useful. But depending on your field, it may be worth focusing on courses that result in certificates.

I'd strongly recommend this for anybody looking to learn a new set of skills in a relatively deep way.

If you're just looking for certs, there are probably easier ways to get them. That said, certs are also pretty meaningless IMO. They're better than nothing, but far from a sure thing you aren't hiring a moron.

Coursera course quality has been gone way downhill. They used to have courses from universities that offer comprehensive studies on a a topic, with decent homework questions/projects. These days they offer a lot of simple, fast hands-on "tutorials" that match the quality of videos found on Youtube, while a lot of older content can no longer be found. I wouldn't pay a penny for most of their courses.
