Coursera + Udemy Employee Perspectives
Udemy allows you the flexibility to jump into different side projects, have cross-functional collaboration, show up “earnestly authentic” as your whole self, and discuss where you want to go and what you want to do. We’ve seen people transition from customer success to marketing, facilities to support, and even email marketing to back-end engineering. There’s no one right way to build your career here.
Always learning’ is a core value at Udemy, and based on that value, we have identified a skill of engaging in constructive debate with one another that allows us to learn more effectively. Our employees are encouraged to use their UDays to build skills and model our ‘always learning’ value.
Udemy’s MentorU program pairs employees across teams and levels based on the skills they want to develop, creating more intentional mentorship relationships. By connecting learning with internal mobility, the program helps employees build leadership capabilities, pursue promotions and move into new roles within the company.
“Since being a part of that MentorU program, not only did I get promoted, but I entered an entirely new role at Udemy. My career has been transformed since joining MentorU.”
Udemy’s MentorU program supports leadership development by matching employees with mentors whose skills, experience and career paths align with their growth goals. Using Workday Career Hub, the program creates more targeted connections that help employees learn from experienced colleagues and build capabilities for future leadership opportunities.
“Having our MentorU participants find mentor matches based on the skills they were developing and sharing in Workday Career Hub allowed for more intentional skills-aligned connections.”
