LinkedIn Learning: LinkedIn just made one available online product oriented social network for professionals that it hopes will accelerate its vision of creating a community of “economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.”
The company on Thursday made LinkedIn available Learning, the integration of the service with the acquisition of Lynda.com.
Last April, LinkedIn bought Lynda.com for 1,5 for two billion dollars, but for more than a year, the online tutorial site remained as an autonomous entity.
However, this probably won't change with the launch of LinkedIn Learning. To be clear: Nothing has changed with Lynda.com. Lynda.com will remain online for a while, according to company representatives. What LinkedIn just uses the service of education and professional engagement with its data. So while you are in the professional social network, you can learn new skills based on the context of the positions work that you want or are interested in.
As with Lynda.com, LinkedIn Learning supports several course modules, which are geared towards helping you find the work you want.
The service will show you all the people who have attended the course, job titles as well as other skills to be better informed about what the next steps are after completing your training.
LinkedIn Learning's goal is to update you for new skills to promote your career either in the same organization or in another business.
According to the company, there is a lot you can learn about the job you are interested in, and instead of spending years and money at college (?!), In Learning will help you succeed.
