Showcasing your learning and internal recognition - LinkedIn Learning Tutorial

- [Instructor] Building new skills is valuable, but showcasing those skills is also important. Demonstrating your learning can open doors to opportunities, leadership roles, and career growth. LinkedIn Learning provides multiple ways to highlight your progress and achievements. The first is by earning and showcasing certificates. When you complete a course or learning path on LinkedIn Learning, you'll earn a certificate of completion, which you can then add to your LinkedIn profile. Once you've added it to your profile, it will appear under the Licenses & Certification section, signaling to others that you've invested in upskilling or re-skilling. Beyond this, under the certifications tab, LinkedIn Learning also helps you prepare for industry-recognized certifications and learn continuing education units from top providers, like Microsoft, AWS, and CompTIA. Some programs even offer professional certificates in partnership with leading brands, allowing you to complete courses, take an assessment, and showcase your credentials all within LinkedIn. Earning certifications is just one part of the process, though. How you use and share your learning is just as important. Here's how you can make the most of your new skills. First, highlight learning in performance reviews. Showcase your growth by discussing completed courses and certifications during performance evaluations. Discuss skills gained with your manager. Share how your learning supports company goals and can help you take on new responsibilities. Apply new knowledge in workplace projects. Put your skills to work by implementing what you've learned in real world scenarios. Also, post about your journey on LinkedIn. Sharing your progress can spark conversations, connect you with industry peers, and open new career opportunities. By actively applying and showcasing what you're learning, you're not only gaining skills, you're building your professional brand. Next, we'll wrap things up with some final thoughts on how to continue your learning journey and build a learning habit.
