Enhance Your Career with Free Fridays Workshops | General Assembly

Looking for free workshops? Check out Workshop Wednesdays running from September 14th, 2022, to October 19th, 2022.

When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill, we felt our community could use a bit of hope and human connection, so we offered some of our most popular online workshops for free. But even more unprecedented than the pandemic was the outpouring of support and gratitude we received from thousands of learners across the globe.

The most popular workshops fell under our main core disciplines in Data, Software Engineering/Program Development, and UX Design.

At General Assembly, we believe that geophysical or socioeconomic barriers have no place in the classroom. Over 50 workshops and 280,000 RSVPs later, you helped us prove what we always knew: learning has no limits. 

To show our thanks, we’re excited to announce the return of Free Fridays. Whether you’re looking for a new job or want to diversify your skill set to become more employable, our community of experts is here for you online.

What are Free Fridays?

We understand that staying current in today’s ever-changing job market requires knowledge. That’s why we introduced Free Fridays aka free skills development training. Our complimentary career development courses can assist you in attracting fresh career prospects.

There are many workshop options to choose from depending on your interests or career goals. Have you found yourself curious about a coding career? Now is the time to learn coding for free. If you’re more into social media and content creation, you can take advantage of our free marketing courses. Maybe you have a passion for crunching numbers. There’s never a right time to learn data for free.

Every week until December 10, join peers from around the world to experience our most popular workshops (ranging from $60 to $200 USD in value) — for free.* From coding to data and marketing, to UX design and career development, explore the tech skills that will keep you in demand and can lead to a career switch.

Here’s what’s coming up. See you Friday!
