Free online training for unemployed

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

In partnership with the company Coursera, as part of their Coursera Workforce Recovery Initiative plan to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Colombian government is now providing access to online learning for unemployed people. This includes 3,800 courses and 400 specializations.
