LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform that offers over 16,000 courses in business, technology, and creative skills. With a work account on LinkedIn Learning, employees can access courses assigned by their employer to facilitate continuous learning and development.
Why link my work account to LinkedIn Learning?
There are several benefits to linking your work account to LinkedIn Learning:
- Access courses, learning paths, and recommendations curated by your employer.
- Seamlessly switch between your personal and work accounts without having to log in and out.
- Track your learning progress and completion status for work-assigned courses.
- Download course materials and save your course progress when accessing through your work account.
By linking your accounts, you can keep your personal and professional learning separate while still being able to easily access both in one place.
