LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform which allows you the opportunity to learn something new when you want to learn it. You can learn how to develop your strategic thinking, enhance your project management skills, learn Excel or even learn to sing. 

You can choose to learn something by following a full course or “playlist” or you can simply select specific content to learn. With the app, you can download content and learn on the go. Courses often come with extra resources in order to help you continue your learning.

Please see our LinkedIn Learning web page to find out more about what you can do on the platform and how you can activate your account.
