1Of the endless troubles that come with being driven from one's home country,losing educational certificates may seem
2small.But it isn't.Refugees who settle in other countries often find themselves unable to continue on their previous
3career path due to a new set of employer standards or skills requirements.To solve this problem, the U.S.State
4Department is posing a solution:online learning.
5The State Department will announce a partnership with an online education platform called Coursera.The platform will
6allow refugees worldwide to take thousands of online courses for free.“Coursera for Refugees” will be available for any
7non-profit group that supports refugees in any country,as well as individual refugees. They can apply for fully funded
8access to Coursera's course catalog,which means they can take all of the platform's classes and obtain professional
9certificates for free.The platform currently offers professor-led lectures on a broad range of topics,from data science
10to fashion design.
11As the world migrant crisis intensifies,employment is becoming a global concern.The new program aims to aid refugees by
12offering"important skills that will help them in the global economy,"Evan Ryan,U.S.assistant secretary of state for
13educational and cultural affairs,said on a press call last week."What we don't want to do is not act,”added Coursera
14chief operations officer Lila Ibrahim.
15The idea isn't without problems.For one,starting a new career path isn't as simple as watching a few videos and
16obtaining an online certificate;even those looking to continue previous careers can't simply rely on an online lecture
17to get them up-to-date on standards,policies,and practices.For another,most of the classes on Coursera are in
18English,and though there are plans to add translations,language barriers can be a big obstacle.Then there are the
19questions over the value of massive open online courses (MOOCs)themselves—both for refugees and for average learners.
20But it's still early days and there are signs of hope.In 2015,a joint study found 72%of people taking the MOOCs saw
21career benefits afterwards.
