I haven't looked into it at all, but I just received this email from ASU:


Hello Universal Learner!

Advance your career skills further by joining ASU’s AZNext program!

AZNext is a U.S. Department of Labor sponsored program developed to provide training for the next generation workforce. Offered at no cost to participants, AZNext is working with over 60 companies in Arizona and across the country to address workforce needs. This course was developed through their inputs.

By joining AZNext you will have access to:
· Additional skills training at no cost to you
· Placement opportunities with our industry partners
· Opportunities for internships or apprenticeships

Since all our employers are in the U.S., you will need to be currently residing in the U.S. to enroll in the program. You do not have to be a registered ASU student to enroll in the program.

AZNext staff members are ready to help you and are dedicated to seeing you succeed.

To sign up, please go to this link, fill out the application and note which course you are taking in the Program Interest field.

If you’d like to learn more, go to our website at www.AZNext.pipelineaz.com or contact us at AZNext@asu.edu.

Thank you,
The AZNext Team

Nice, it looks like some of the included programs are the ASU Google IT Support Professional Certificate and the Business Data Analytics Cert, though it may not include the credit conversion fees.

I have just received the email below from ASU. The fact that the US residency is not mentioned in this version as opposed to the previous one leads me to believe that the program is now open to overseas students. There are some extra benefits as well.
