5 MOST POPULAR COURSES
Our staff and students showed the most interest in these five LinkedIn Learning courses in July:
Linkedin Learning Pathfinder
LinkedIn's Pathfinder tool generates custom lists of LinkedIn Learning courses based on your career goals in the next six months. Whether you want a better work-life balance, growth in your current role, or a fresh start, simply tell Pathfinder what you're looking for and it'll do the rest.
After using Pathfinder, a LinkedIn Learning Learning Path will be generated for you, which includes carefully selected courses aimed at assisting you in achieving your objectives.
NEW LinkedIn Learning courses
LinkedIn Learning adds more than 50 courses every week. Here are five recent courses that may interest you.
Learn on the go with downloads
The LinkedIn Learning mobile app is free and allows you to download courses and videos on most mobile devices. You can learn at your convenience, whether commuting, travelling, or enjoying the outdoors. Additionally, many of the courses in the library are available as audio courses, making LinkedIn Learning the perfect workout companion.
To get started, simply download the LinkedIn Learning app from the Google Play/App Store and sign into your account using your University credentials.
FREE LINKEDIN WEBINARS
LinkedIn regularly run free webinars to help you get the most out of your personal LinkedIn account and LinkedIn Learning subscription. These live sessions cover topics like how to improve your LinkedIn profile, how to use LinkedIn Learning more effectively, and Q&A sessions on a wide range of other subjects.
These webinars usually last less than one hour and are worth registering for even if you cannot attend as you will receive a link to the recorded version, provided you have signed up prior to the session taking place.
