Meta to offer new professional certificates through Coursera

[MNomadic]

Not to be a debbie downer, but I was very disappointed with the google coursera certificates. I did the project management one and it basically equaled nothing. Google promised they would be considered as degrees and now that I am actually nearly done with my BA I can't believe they made such a bold claim, and I believed it. These meta ones seem better, also I think they are better for the people who already work at meta and want to upskill. Not saying people should not pursue them, but I am saying in the workforce my coursera cert meant nothing.

I tend to agree. The consensus I've seen online reflects this attitude as well. Definitely nowhere near a degree(nor should it be) but can help for reskilling or getting some resume filler if you're lacking. I don't generally mention any of my IBM/Google Coursera certificates on my resume/linkedin/applications since they're not noteworthy compared to other things in my portfolio but they serve a purpose for me: CEUs, reviewing/learning, potential ACE credits if I go back for another undergrad.
