Coursera - https://www.coursera.org/courses
tbh I have so many courses I can recommend from here BUT I would suggest you prioritize from this list: https://www.classcentral.com/report/coursera-free-certificate-covid-19/
because they've got free certificates only until July 31

[ this is 1 of the top Coursera courses I recommend to my students who plan to go into further research or masters abroad, it's called Writing in the Sciences, I hope it's useful to some of you too!!] https://www.coursera.org/learn/sciwrite
edX
my reco: there's so many fun things to learn (I like studying literature and edX makes in general) but I think the most relevant to us all is Making Government Work in Hard Places

LinkedIn Learning
they've actually prepared learning paths for people to take and get certified in, so that you can apply for jobs listed on LinkedIn with it when you're done! [If you haven't yet, make a LI profile!! I make all my students make one haha] https://opportunity.linkedin.com/skills-for-in-demand-jobs

FutureLearn
right now they're offering a free digital upgrade for a bunch of their courses (aka free certification!!) so my recommendation is Collaborative Working in a Remote Team, something very timely for us all https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/collaborative-working-in-a-remote-team
