Free Online Courses (Other than Google) to Upgrade Yourself

As a continuation from my previous post on Free Google Courses Recommended, I have researched and tried out the free courses available online. I cannot stress on the importance of continuous self- development be it career related or not. Not only is it stimulating to your mind as you get exposed to unfamiliar things, you will be able to utilize some of the points read in your daily life. Besides, it never hurts to know more right! You can also use these pointers as a conversation starter. For example, I am currently going through the Digital Garage by Google which teaches you about marketing in the digital age. Even though this subject is totally different from what I am doing in my line of work, I still find it interesting because I can now better appreciate the elements behind selling a product or service and the promotion efforts behind it.


Note that this post is geared towards an individual who is keen in development in Analytics, Marketing and SEO, Finance and Programming Languages. Skills which are set to get a stronger foothold in years to come. This list is definitely not exhaustive as I only recommend those I have tried before.

Google Courses to Sign Up For

As a follow up from my previous post on how to save yourself from being retrenched, one of my tips was to improve on existing skills and take up new courses to stay relevant. With the threat of automation and low-value jobs being outsourced to lower cost centers, the threat to our rice bowl is becoming more prevalent. To see if your current job is at risk being made obsolete by robots, Will Robots Take My Job is an interactive web tool for you to assess your risk level. 

Being consistent in learning shows the potential employers that you are self- motivated and put in the effort outside of working hours to work on your skill set, setting your candidacy apart from the crowd. Herewith I have compiled applicable self- paced online courses that are free.
