MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Coursera, Inc., one of the world’s leading online learning platforms, has unveiled Skill Tracks, a new data-backed learning solution designed to accelerate role-based skill development and close critical workforce gaps.
Mapped to specific occupations, Skill Tracks guide learners from foundational knowledge to expert proficiency, powered by Coursera’s Career Graph — a system that integrates millions of labor market data points, third-party competency frameworks, and a proprietary skills taxonomy. This ensures a precise alignment between jobs, skills, and content, helping organizations respond faster to evolving business needs.
Currently, four Skill Tracks are available: Software and Product, IT, Data, and GenAI, with more to follow. Each offers a structured pathway that defines the critical skills and courses needed for every role and career stage. The solution combines world-class content, hands-on practice, and skills verification, equipping employees with immediately applicable expertise that drives measurable outcomes.
The urgency for reskilling has never been greater. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, 67% of Filipino employers identify skill gaps as the primary barrier to business transformation, with nearly seven in ten workers requiring reskilling within the next five years. Coursera Skill Tracks aim to meet this demand, enabling leaders to foster innovation, productivity, and employee retention.
“Companies are deploying new technology faster than their people can keep pace, and they need learning solutions that are adaptive and personalized,” 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.”
Key Features of Coursera Skill Tracks
- Tailored learning experiences — Beyond content from partners like Microsoft, AWS, Yale, and Stanford, organizations can customize Skill Tracks with their own materials to align with tools, workflows, and business priorities.

- Real-time insights and business alignment — Regular tracking, continuous updates, and integration with business goals ensure skills stay current and deliver direct impact on organizational growth.
In the coming months, Coursera will roll out additional Skill Tracks and new features such as skill diagnostics to place learners at the right starting level and performance-based evaluations for job-ready credentials.
