Binance Academy, the educational arm of Binance, has forged a partnership with renowned online learning platform Coursera to develop certified Web3 educational programs, according to a recent announcement. These programs aim to cover a wide range of Web3 and blockchain topics and are designed to meet both basic and professional certification needs.

Binance Academy’s collaboration with Coursera is expected to play a vital role in bridging the knowledge gap between rapidly evolving blockchain technology and the contemporary workforce.

“In a world where Web3 is becoming more prevalent, understanding blockchain technology has become essential for everyone,” Binance said in its statement. The collaboration expands the reach of Binance Academy’s educational initiatives, with the goal of spreading blockchain knowledge globally and fostering financial inclusion and innovation.

Coursera, a leading e-learning platform with a user base of more than 124 million, will make Binance Academy’s blockchain programs available to a broader audience. These programs are designed to serve a variety of students, from beginners to budding blockchain professionals, and will include reading materials, video lectures, graded practice and assessments, and projects. Upon completion, students will receive a digital certificate verifying their newly acquired skills and knowledge.

This association is aligned with the growing demand for qualified blockchain and crypto professionals. As the adoption of blockchain technology accelerates, a notable skills gap is emerging that must be addressed to unlock the full potential of this technology.

“Education is the cornerstone of progress and innovation,” said Yi He, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Binance. “We are combining the strengths of two industry leaders with a shared vision: to provide best-in-class education that will drive adoption and build the foundation for Web3.”

The joint effort of Binance Academy and Coursera is poised to significantly contribute to the blockchain industry by educating and empowering individuals with essential blockchain skills, thereby facilitating the transition to a more decentralized future.
