By Betty Vandenbosch, Chief Content Officer at Coursera

Demand for industry certification exams, especially in the IT field, continues to grow. These certifications can help serve as proof of a specific skill set, with individuals reporting greater confidence, earnings, and career advancement following a successful exam.

This quarter, we introduced new content from industry partners to help learners develop the right skills and prepare for these exams, in topics ranging from cloud computing and cybersecurity to computer-aided design (CAD) and bookkeeping. In addition to new courses and Specializations, several industry partners have recently launched special offers for learners on Coursera to more easily and affordably access certification exams and, in turn, boost their careers.
