This is a recent article that has been brought to my attention that I think may be of interest to many readers. From the article:

"Just because you are unemployed doesn’t mean your day can’t be filled with productivity and learning. With so many college courses available free of charge, there are plenty you can be taking to improve your skills and expand your knowledge to help you become a prospective employee that managers are scrambling to hire. Choose from these classes that can improve writing, communication, teaching, and technological skills or help you learn about web design, business, and entrepreneurship. There are even classes that will help you become a better thinker and expand your horizons by offering fun and useful information."
