Global Skills Report 2024

The Global Skills Report (GSR) is a premiere report in the tech education industry. The report draws on global data from Coursera's 148M+ learners across 100+ countries and provides insights for businesses, governments, and higher ed institutions.

I led the design of the report, including concepting the key visual, layout of the 81-page primary report and 6 regional reports, managed reviews with stakeholders, and provided art direction across campaign assets.

As of January 2025, the Global Skills Report 2024 had 29,000+ downloads, 3.7K MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads), 56 SQLs (Sales Qualified Leads), 44 SALs (Sales Accepted Leads), and accumulated 350+ press articles.

Concept: Trailblazers

The key visual is an abstract topographic map, representing the global data of the report. The continuous line represents unity and global connectedness.

The color selections are pulled from Coursera’s color palette, but are differentiated enough to create a unique look and feel.

Regional reports and assets

For regional reports and regional assets like email headers, the topographic map moves to highlight the selected region.
