Illinois State Senate District 17 issued the following announcement on Oct. 5.

The State of Illinois has partnered with Coursera to offer virtual career training to unemployed workers. 

Using an Illinois workNet account, job seekers can register for free courses in high-demand fields like information technology from top institutions—such as the University of Illinois—to learn new skills, earn certificates and make themselves more attractive to employers. More than 3,000 residents have enrolled, and over 430 classes have been completed since June.
