Filipino learners are increasingly focusing on digital and analytical skills as the country accelerates its shift toward a tech-driven economy, according to new data from global learning platform Coursera.
Online learning platform Coursera has unveiled a suite of new artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools and features aimed at transforming how learners access and engage with education worldwide.
Online learning platform Coursera has released its annual Global Skills Report, revealing a remarkable 383% year-over-year (YoY) increase in Generative AI (GenAI) enrollments in the Philippines, far outpacing the Asia Pacific average of 132% and the global average of 195%.
As a member of the Yuchengco Group of Companies and Ayala Corporation, iPeople aims to provide globally-competitive, AI-enabled, and skills-based education to as many Filipinos as possible.
Two key trends emerged in 2024: an unprecedented demand for Gen AI learning and a growing preference for role-specific content to prepare for specific jobs.
In 2023, Coursera saw a huge surge in interest for generative AI content, with searches increasing by five-fold in the Philippines compared to the previous year.
There are 1.5-million registered learners from the Philippines as of 2022, the US-based online learning content provider Coursera said on Thursday, May 17.
This year, Coursera observed a rising uptake of courses related to Professional Certificates, which are designed to prepare learners without a college degree or technology experience for a wide range of high-demand digital jobs.
