They are designed to help learners gain new skills and prepare for their career. Users can follow a pre-designed learning path to gain a full understanding of a topic or find personalized recommendations based on experience and interests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 3,000 new accounts have been created since LinkedIn Learning became available to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recent grads<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For students who have recently graduated or are leaving the university, access to LinkedIn Learning has been extended through August 2020 to assist students with their professional development and career planning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staff, including temporary workers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers now have access to high-quality training materials to which they can point staff, including temporary workers, for job training, creating more equitable access to professional development resources.
