Grow your career with LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning has new features to help personalise your content to meet your learning needs and to reach your career aspirations.

My Career Journey

The new My Career Journey area allows you to explore and navigate career paths by personalising the learner experience to meet your professional goal. You will then receive content recommendations tailored to your career path. Connecting your LinkedIn profile to your account means you’ll get even more personalised recommendations and once you complete a course, you’ll be able to display your learning directly onto your LinkedIn profile.

You can set your Career Goal in the My Career Journey area. You’ll see an option to 'Add goal', allowing you to select a personal career goal. You can choose to grow and advance in your current role, transition into a new role or develop skills to manage teams.

You'll then be asked to select the skills you want to develop to achieve your business goal. The skills you select will be added to a personal learning plan. This feature is completely private to you, and no one will be able to see your career goal. You'll also see data provided for your selected role, and see other potential career paths to explore in the future.

Role Guides

Role Guides are a feature that package relevant content, skills, jobs and communities for a specific job role. Each role suggests top courses for that role, the common skills associated with the role, a range of in-depth learning paths and professional qualifications. Like Career Goal, you'll be able to see other career paths for this role.

There are currently 33 role guides available across the 3 categories of Business, Creative and Technologies and include roles such as Database Administrator, Project Manager, Graphic Designer and Data Scientist.

You access the Role Guides from the home page by selecting the Content on the left menu bar, and then selecting either  the Business, Creative or Technology category from the top menu panel. Role Guides appear at the top of each of the categories.
