Our take
Udacity is connecting education to jobs by providing students with skills to advance careers. Its revenue-driving 'Nanodegree' programs provide credentials to individuals earned through a series of online courses and projects from self-driving cars to digital marketing.
By partnering with leading technology companies to learn how technology is transforming industries, Udacity can teach the critical tech skills that companies are looking for in their workforce. With their powerful and flexible digital education platform, even the busiest learners can prepare themselves to take on the most in-demand tech roles.
The company sets itself apart from other online open course providers like Udemy, Goodwill or edX by focusing on industry-specific skills identified by tech companies themselves. In 2023, it launched the Udacity Management Platform for organizations, with capabilities including highlighting urgent learning tasks and displaying usage data, to further enhance its utility.
