Job markets have been churning. Many traditional jobs have lost favour, say in travel, retail, hospitality and manufacturing. Many new jobs have found favour — in IT, technology, digital marketing and data analytics. To up skill, people take to professional certificates. Coursera is one of the largest online learning platforms. Its top 10 professional certificates in 2021 are data analytics, UX Design, project management, IT support, data science, social media marketing, data analyst, full stack cloud developer and Salesforce sales operations.

There is heavy enrolment to these courses. Google data analytics is the most popular course in India. Social media marketing by Facebook and Sales Operations by Salesforce too are highly popular.

These courses are given credit by many US and UK universities, though in India such credits are not given.

In 2021, even Machine Learning course of Coursera attracted heavy response.
