World-class content
It all starts with the right content. LinkedIn Learning was built precisely with the needs of a modern learner in mind, meaning it is:
Expert-led: Content that is compelling and engaging because it’s studio-produced and taught by real-world expert instructors in a variety of formats and teaching styles, providing learners bite-size and in-depth course options for snacking or going deep.
Up-to-date: We offer a library of over 13,000 courses globally, with 50+ new courses (70 across all languages) every week to ensure employees have the latest at the tip of their fingers.
Ahead of the curve: The unique part of our content is how we decide what courses to create. It’s informed by Linkedin trends and data we are seeing that can predict what skills will be in demand - so that your employees can lean on LinkedIn to stay ahead of the curve.
Based on the LinkedIn network, your own connections, and the individual goals you set for yourself, learners will find the content hyper-personalized and relevant to their world.
We have high expectations of technology in all parts of our life. Learning shouldn’t be the exception:
This is an area where we have a unique advantage: everyone already knows LinkedIn! LinkedIn Learning is built on a platform that millions of professionals use every day. It is one of the most trafficked websites in the world (citation), with two new professionals joining every second. Learning can be challenging enough.
The front door being a familiar platform makes it easier to navigate.
LinkedIn Learning is built on 16 years of consumer technology, and offers a clean and simple interface -- like Netflix and Spotify
LinkedIn make it easy for students to access learning, whether online or offline, desktop or our seamless mobile experience, and in a variety of formats including video, audio, and text-only options.
This also means that learning on the LinkedIn Learning platform is inherently social - you can see what courses your LinkedIn connections and colleagues at your organisation have watched, easily share a course with your network, or message a course author / expert with questions.
Data collected by LinkedIn Learning shows the top hard skills being learnt which may or may not be relevant to you but what will be relevant to everyone is the top 5 soft skills
LinkedIn Learning courses related to the top 5 soft skills
There are many advantages to activating your LinkedIn Learning account and connecting it to your LinkedIn profile page. For example, you can ask and answer questions of everyone on LinkedIn.com who is currently doing the same course as you
The statistics speak for themselves and as well as employment, LinkedIn Learning and connecting it to your LinkedIn.com profile offers numerous opportunities for collaborative research
