Suggested Career/ Curriculum Tracks
Listed below you can find curriculum suggestions we offer for members of AppsWorkforce. All courses listed are free to take or audit and they are also self paced.
We also encourage you to visit the MOOC (e.g. edx.org) sites directly to search for courses that might better match your interests than our suggestions. You'll find courses that span various disciplines (e.g. liberal arts, social science, economics, business, etc) on MOOC platforms.
Please note that all MOOCs listed on this site have been confirmed as free. If you're trying to register for a course and the MOOC platform is seeking a payment, then look around for an option to audit the course
If the course comes with an option to pay for a certificate, do so if you can afford to. What you know trumps any paper certificate (that anyone can go print a forgery of at a cyber cafe). So why bother paying? See it more as a donation, an indication that you support the MOOC agenda and you're grateful for the learning opportunities it provides.
