How Taking MOOC's Can Land You A Job

How taking MOOC's can land you a job

    How taking MOOC's can land you a job caught my interest when I viewed T. Falk's blog at Smart Planet. This was particularly interesting to me since I recently learned what a MOOC was.Smart planet blog bulletin shows how taking MOOCs( Massive Open Online Courses) which have been available to the public world wide since 2012 can land you a job.  The MOOC's are courses  usually offered by world renown universities such as Yale and Harvard for free. Yes, free! The catch is you do not receive college credit. These courses are at no obligation and do not require registration.
    In addition, some employers like AT&T are  looking for prospective employees through  the development of a  Nanodegree that is earned in 12 months with it being $200.00 per month or $2,400.00 total. AT&T seeks this method so the material learned applies to the job scope. Tyler Falk continues to note that the nanodegree is heading toward the future in education.  Companies can obtain the trained intern from the nanodegree with out having to invest in the training.
