Greg Hart, Coursera’s CEO and longtime Amazon alumnus, described a strategic overhaul to accelerate the company’s response to employer demand, reporting that the platform added 1,100 generative AI courses — a 44% year‑over‑year increase — as organizations seek job‑ready skills. Hart said Coursera adopted leadership mindsets drawn from tech giants to move faster and align product with employer hiring needs, particularly in AI. For university continuing‑education units and career centers, the move spotlights competition from MOOC platforms in corporate training and the need to bundle credentials, employer partnerships, and measurable learning outcomes.
