@careerforcemn @mndeed @coursera Great online learning opportunity at no-cost! Worth checking it out. @careerforcemn @mndeed

[Jason Metsa @JasonMetsa]

@grove @mndeed @JoinUsMN @careerforcemn Agreed. I also hope businesses are looking past college degrees as entry requirements. There’s a lot of good people who’ve got PHD’s in the school of hard knocks. Life and work experience should count as well!
