LinkedIn Learning Now Available to Fisher Students

A valuable new resource is now available to your student: LinkedIn Learning. This dynamic platform is designed to enhance their educational experience, foster personal growth, and better prepare them for the professional world.

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform offering thousands of high-quality video courses across a broad range of subjects. From technical skills like programming, graphic design, and data analytics to soft skills such as communication, leadership, and time management, LinkedIn Learning has something for everyone.

These courses are led by industry experts and are structured to fit into the busy schedules of students. Additionally, LinkedIn Learning is seamlessly integrated with LinkedIn profiles, enabling students to showcase their completed courses and certificates directly to potential employers.

Why is LinkedIn Learning Beneficial for Students?

Skill Development Beyond the Classroom: College courses provide a solid foundation, but LinkedIn Learning can supplement that education with real-world skills. For example, if your student is studying business, they can explore courses on entrepreneurship, financial analysis, or marketing analytics to expand their expertise.

Flexible Learning Anytime, Anywhere: LinkedIn Learning’s on-demand courses can be accessed via computer or mobile device, making it easy for students to learn at their own pace, wherever they are. This flexibility ensures that learning can fit into their busy lives.

Career Preparation and Networking: Students can align their learning with their career goals, gaining insights into emerging trends and essential tools in their chosen fields. Completing courses and earning certificates also makes their LinkedIn profiles stand out, boosting their visibility to recruiters.

Mental Wellness and Personal Development: In addition to academic and professional topics, LinkedIn Learning offers courses on mindfulness, stress management, and personal productivity—valuable resources for maintaining balance during their college journey.

How Can You Encourage Your Student to Use LinkedIn Learning?

Spark a Conversation: Ask your student if they’ve explored LinkedIn Learning yet and discuss how it could help them achieve their goals.

Explore Together: Browse the course catalog with them to discover topics they’re excited about or that align with their career ambitions.

Celebrate Progress: Encourage your student to share completed courses with you—it’s a great way to cheer them on and stay engaged in their learning journey.
