Stay Sharp With LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn recently announced a new skill-building platform for its users: LinkedIn Learning. The new service aims to help users identify skills they need to stay on top of or help enhance teams while saving time and money on trainers. Here’s how it works:
Access to over 9,000 courses. From technical and creative topics like list management and effective writing to “soft skills” like leadership, sales techniques, presenting and networking, you’ll find just the right course to suit your growing career.
Data-driven personalization based on your user profile, LinkedIn activity, previous coursework and trends helps keep you on track going from where you’ve been to where you want to be. If you’re not sure what you need, LinkedIn can help you discover courses most relevant to your career goals.
For team leaders and organizations LinkedIn’s integrated course management system helps you customize a learning path to grow skills within your team without costing you more time on training and developing courses yourself. Plus, you can measure the effectiveness of each course for each team member.
25+ new courses are added each week, so you can stay on the path to learning and leverage talents even further. Non-English speakers can also enjoy courses in German, Spanish, Japanese and French.
To learn more, head over to LinkedIn Learning and explore the system.
Full-access is free to try for one month. After that, memberships begin at $24.99 per month for individuals. Organizations can contact LinkedIn for special pricing on training five or more people.
Please feel free to pass these helpful tips along to your team, clients and colleagues.
