How does the video player work within a course episode?
Near the bottom of each video, you can adjust the captions to your size, color, and font preferences, turn on and off sign language interpretation, change your keyboard navigation settings, and turn on and off the transcript that can either auto-scroll or not. Note: The player experience is not yet fully optimized for mobile devices so, if you opened the page on your mobile device and something isn’t working for you as expected, try opening the player from a desktop browser.
What happens after I complete a course on Making Space?
Once you complete a course, employers can easily browse your profile, quiz and assignment data, and screening questions to identify and connect with ideal candidates like you who have demonstrated job readiness. Making Space streamlines hiring by matching pre-qualified talent directly to partner employers.
