Coursera Announces Skill Tracks

Data-Backed Learning Solution to Accelerate Critical Skills Development Across Functional Teams

Mountain View, CA (USA), September 2025 - Coursera, Inc., a leading global online learning platform, has announced the launch of Skill Tracks, a data-backed learning solution mapped to specific occupations that guides learners from foundational knowledge to expert proficiency through verified skill paths. Powered by Coursera’s Career Graph, which uses millions of labor market data points, third-party competency frameworks, and a proprietary skills taxonomy, Skill Tracks precisely map the relationships between jobs, skills, and learning content, ensuring organizations can close skill gaps quickly.

Starting today, four Skill Tracks are available: Software and Product, IT, Data, and GenAI, with more to follow. Each Skills Track offers a structured learning experience that clearly defines the critical skills and courses employees need at each role and experience level. The solution integrates expert content, hands-on practice, and skills verification, enabling employees to apply new skills immediately and drive measurable business outcomes faster.

Key features of Coursera Skill Tracks include:

Tailored learning experience
Rigorous and verifiable credentials
Real-time insights and alignment to business goals

Over the coming months, Coursera will introduce additional Skill Tracks and enhanced features, including skill diagnostics to help learners start at the right level and verified skill paths with performance-based evaluations to produce credentials that reflect practical, job-ready expertise.

"Companies are deploying new technology faster than their people can keep pace, and they need learning solutions that are adaptive and tailored," said Coursera CEO Greg Hart. "Coursera Skill Tracks deliver a learning experience built around occupations and job tasks, and it’s a major step towards helping learners master the right skills to grow their careers. By blending technical skills with institutional expertise, hands-on practice, and skill verification, Skill Tracks ensure training is relevant and immediately applicable."
