It is no coincidence that Coursera (founded in 2012 by two Stanford professors and which, according to Class Central, would have had a turnover of around 140 million dollars in 2018) is used by many multinationals such as Danone, P&G, Airbus, L’Oreal to train employees. Among the universities on the platform, Johns Hopkins, Illinois, Penn University, Columbia, Stanford, but also ours Sapienza and Bocconi.
The courses are mainly in English and Spanish; few of those in Italian. With a little one fee you can receive a certificate to share on Linkedin.
