Professional work is a good skill to learn if you want to become a special agent, automotive repair technician, or internet sales specialist. Here are the top courses to learn professional work:
1. Professional IQ: Preventing and Solving Problems at Work
In this Specialization, Professional IQ: Preventing Solving Problems at Work, learners use real-world dilemmas and ethical problems experienced by professionals around the world to clarify and articulate their personal values as a foundation for the issues they face. Many successful people use these skills every day—and you should too: making strong decisions; recognizing and avoiding career-damaging pitfalls; preventing and resolving conflicts so as to be value-added members of teams; knowing how and when to apologize effectively; knowing how to ask constructive questions that advance work; and honing leadership skills—whether for being influential at work or holding a position of authority. Learners develop a Personal Leadership Credo, as part of a portfolio applying the skills from the course in situations that learners develop themselves.\n\nThis Specialization features guest speakers from the following organizations: The University of Illinois Community Credit Union; ZipDX; Rosentreter Group; University of Kansas; Studio Helix Medical Exercise and Bodywork, LLC; Advanced Micro Devices; Vedder Price, P.C.; Circuit Court of Cook County; Sierra Training Associates Inc.; and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nFor the names and biographies of individual guest speakers, please see the "Guest Experts" page within each course...

5. Beginner Professional Java - Learn to Code for Work and Fun
Great Introduction to CodingThis course teaches programming for absolute beginners. It provides over 50 hands-on coding exercises, so you spend most of your time getting good at coding, not just watching videos. The difficulty builds gradually so you're always ready for the next step. Most people can complete this course in about 6 months at 5 hours per week. Refined in a ClassroomThis course material has been used for 3 years in a face-to-face classroom for job training. This has resulted in many refinements to the course material, eliminating bugs and errors, and ensuring no steps are missing, so you can trust the quality of the course. Many of the classroom students are now working in professional software development, and have had wonderful things to say about this course. It's hard, but in a good way, and everything is explained well; I don't get lost. Native English SpeakerAll voice-over is done by me (your instructor), and I'm a native English speaker from the midwest of the United States; I speak clearly and carefully. I also provide full text transcripts of all videos, and am working on closed captioning, so that you can easily follow along with what I'm saying. Videos are Easy to ReviewThe course assumes basic computer literacy but no prior programming experience. We'll start out simple and carefully explain every step. I explain new vocabulary every step of the way so you don't get lost, and I make sure the topics don't skip around. Each topic gently prepares you for the next topic in the course. I focus on the core Java language, especially the most important areas you would actually use on the job. I use lots of pictures, code examples with arrows pointing out the important parts, and careful demonstrations of how and why things work. Every video starts with an overview slide, so you can quickly review code examples when you come back to it later. Then we go into the details, and summarize at the end with some journal questions for you to remember, apply, and elaborate on the material you've just learned. Hands-on PracticeThe early part of the course emphasizes hands-on practice and repetition to build a strong memory of the material. Then as we introduce more complex topics, it shifts to software design and strategies for problem solving, so you're ready for the next level. Practice assignments use what you just learned, in a simple exercise. Challenge assignments use the same topics, but in a more interesting and complex way. Freestyle assignments give you a few requirements and then encourage you to get creative, building your own ideas. I found that learners who only do class exercises don't get enough practice at creating their own ideas, which holds them back professionally. Freestyle exercises give you that necessary practice and are also great fun! Good for TeachersThis material is well-suited to teaching computer science in junior high and high schools, as a more advanced approach than using Scratch. Teachers with advanced students will find this useful for both themselves and their students.
