More than 9 licenses will be granted to the community throughout the Red Universitaria

Responding to the rapid transformations that define the world of work in the 21st century and contributing to the institutional commitment to teacher training are some of the objectives of the strategy UdeG-Coursera, which they jointly lead General Academic and Innovation Coordination (CGAI), and the General Directorate of Virtual University and Digital Learning for Life (UDGMore),  Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG).

This strategy consists of launching two calls for proposals: one for teachersand one for students and graduatesFrom which more than 9 free licenses will be granted so that the community can take courses in different areas of interest, especially those that are in highest demand in today’s job market

This was explained in a videoconference by Dr. Socorro Pérez Alcalá, head of the CGAI, and Ms. Nadia Paola Mireles Torres, director of UDGPlus, who met this Wednesday with career coordinators, department heads, division directors and academic secretaries from the various university centers

They explained that four programs stem from both calls for proposals:

Coursera for Campus for students and teachers, with transversal skills courses to strengthen the professional profile

Career Academy for graduates and students, courses geared towards professional level training and certifications endorsed by global companies

Coursera for the Future of Work, so that students can strengthen transversal skills for adapting to job changes and AI

PROINNOVA-Coursera for teachers, which includes courses aimed at expanding training and professional development opportunities for academic staff

In the case of teachers, courses successfully completed and included in the Coursera catalog for this call will be taken into account as part of the Teacher Innovation Training Program (PROINNOVA)

In the case of students, the possibility was raised that they could be considered in the curriculum as part of their comprehensive training or as optional subjects, a topic that would be assessed by the coordinators of each program and the corresponding authorities. 

During the session, it was reported that the calls for applications are available starting this Thursday, October 23, and availability may vary according to the distribution and use of licenses, as these may be reassigned from time to time

The call for applications for students and graduates can be found at: udgplus.udg.mx/convocatoria-coursera2025-2026

And the call for teachers is available at: cgai.udg.mx/proinnova/coursera
