This Week at Udacity, June 1 edition
The Labor Department’s new Jobs Report bodes well for job-seekers, The Telegraph highlights a Udacity student’s trip to Google I/O, the “meaning of life,” and more!
The Labor Department’s new Jobs Report was huge news today, and we were very excited for our students about all the opportunity on the horizon!
“The takeaway from today’s news is that now is an excellent time to learn valuable new skills, refresh existing ones, and, perhaps most importantly of all, to give priority to those soft skills that can often make the difference in determining who ultimately gets hired.”
And speaking of being excited for our students, it was wonderful to see Udacity students profiled in both The Telegraph (India) and The Daily Nation (Kenya) this week!
