Dive Brief:

• The Apollo Education Group is starting Balloon, a website that lists both open jobs and the skills required for those jobs, as well as a list of courses that can teach those skills.
• The idea is to help adult learners find courses that teach skills that are in demand.
• The courses listed are from sources that include Coursera, Udacity, and Udemy, but could expand to include offerings from Apollo's own University of Phoenix.

Dive Insight:

Most of the courses listed are not connected to any degree programs. But the skills-based nature of the listings means that might not matter. Apollo says it may make money from the site by selling its recruiting services to companies.
