🔦 Resource Spotlight: Free Access to Coursera Through the Greensboro Public Library 📚

This week we wanted to shout out a valuable resource that many entrepreneurs are still not yet aware of: Bridge to Learn. The Greensboro Public Library launched this initiative in the fall of 2024, offering free educational tools for anyone looking to grow their skills — including entrepreneurs & small business owners.

The biggest value you get from this new partnership? Free access to Coursera, an online learning platform with over 10,000 different educational courses and certificates.

Through this partnership, library cardholders can:

  1. Earn professional certificates from top universities

  2. Learn business, tech, marketing, or trade skills at your own pace

  3. Explore college-level courses, no prior experience required

Admittance is *first-come, first-serve and includes a one-on-one intro session with library staff to help you get started. All you need is your library card and email address to sign up.

💡 Also included in Bridge to Learn: SkillMill, Gale Business: Entrepreneurship, Plan Builder, and LegalForms — all great tools for small business owners.
