On July 8, 2026, following the recent combination of Coursera and Udemy, the companies focused on delivering more value for learners, partners, and customers through new AI-powered experiences, accessibility enhancements, and enterprise tools. Earlier on the same day, Coursera announced plans to reduce its workforce after completing its acquisition of Udemy to optimize its cost structure and operating model, though it did not disclose the number of affected employees. This followed Coursera's announcement on July 7, 2026, of its intention to lay off an unspecified number of employees due to the Udemy acquisition, anticipating charges between $8 million and $11 million primarily for severance and related benefits. The merger of Coursera and Udemy completed on July 6, 2026, creating a new e-learning company.
