ASU to Launch a Free Global Initiative and enroll 100 million students

For my own curiosity, since I'm a lover of certificate aesthetics, what does the noncredit certificate look like? I couldn't find it on LinkedIn or Google.

Looks like this except it says:
Global Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Advanced Program

Thanks. That's a bit of a disappointment. It's a free certificate that looks like a free certificate, so maybe the disappointment is well-deserved for me hoping for something better. Also, for caring about what a certificate looks like when the real point is to experience the program. But, eh, it's just a thing I like.

No, I get it and I agree.

The knowledge and practice, is well earned and applicable in the workforce. It’s 1:1 of their paid content.

However an employer, would see it as how you just described, a free ‘worthless certificate’. Unless we are already employed, and using this to enhance our skill sets.

The free-free aspect of it, it’s not worth our time in my opinion, because an employer wouldn’t be impressed if we showed them the free certificate.

How we list it on our resume can be complicated, if we don’t pay we should list it as the 100 Million Learners Program not ASU/Thunderbird. 

Which is odd, paywall to success?

I took Harvard’s free CS50 course which is well known in tech and this exact same concept. I didn’t go to Harvard but took their free courses?

Why would you not list it as from ASU?
Doesn't it say ASU on the certificate?

It says Thunderbird and ASU in small logos, and a big o’ 100 Million Learners logo. Depending how we present it, it may come off as misleading and fraudulent. 

1. We took the courses yes
2. Unpaid, no we don’t have a grad level certificate, just an arbitrary certificate.

If we split our education and certificates separately, I would list it as a certificate under LinkedIn and our resume, but if we pay I would list it under education.

Just my two cents
