Refugees face enormous challenges entering their new home countries. They need to learn a new language, and they have to make sure their skills fit legal and regulatory requirements. The US State Department is posing a solution through a partnership with online education platform Coursera that allows refugees around the world to take thousands of online courses for free. Nonprofit groups that support refugees in any country, as well as individual refugees, can apply for fully funded access to Coursera’s course catalog.
