New Ways to Build Skills and Advance Your Career with LinkedIn Learning

Amid the Great Reshuffle, job and career switching became the norm. As we approach a period of great uncertainty, we're watching some sectors of the labor market grow, while others slow. How can you stay in demand at your current company and stay attractive for future opportunities?

Grow your skills. Skills are changing the way employers reward, promote, and hire. LinkedIn members added 365 million skills to their profiles over the last 12 months, up 43% from the previous year. Employers are finally looking beyond pedigree to hire top talent. Who you know and what school you went to are becoming less important. 40% of hirers on LinkedIn now use skills data to hire, up 20% from the previous year.?

That's why LinkedIn Learning is focused on building out new content and formats to help professionals advance their careers across functions, languages, and career stages. Here are some new ways to grow your skills on LinkedIn Learning.?

To help members keep pace with the rapid evolution of skills, we paired LinkedIn skills data and expert content with the latest hands-on practice technology to launch the new LinkedIn Learning with GitHub Codespaces integration.

This creates a powerful learning experience requiring only a keyboard-enabled device and an internet connection.?
