UCSC’s popular GetVirtual internship program expands its impact and outreach with newly launched Coursera course - Dan White, UCSC

Two years ago, the online entrepreneurship course Crown 95: GetVirtual Business Assistance launched at UC Santa Cruz, sponsored by Crown College to pair students with local businesses struggling to pivot from foot traffic to online orders and sales.    In this successful and popular course, the students serve as mentors and consultants to participating businesses, helping to redesign their websites for e-commerce, listing product catalogs in virtual marketplaces, and offering other invaluable technical assistance. The Coursera course is open to everyone around the world with an internet connection, regardless of academic affiliation. For learners outside the UC system it's free, unless they want a certificate.
