Description

In this day and age, literacy is fairly important. The job market is lacking in a series of skills due to lack of literacy or soft skills. This, as well as the rise of AI and automation is creating a gap in today's world. It isn't even basic literacy such as reading and writing, but also other aspects of literacy such as digital, cultural, and financial literacy. This course will talk about some insights related to all these, as well as tackle why all of these are critically important. Throughout this course, links and resources are also provided to the learner.
