There are advantages to accessing LinkedIn Learning content through both LinkedIn and Workday.

Accessing LinkedIn Learning directly through linkedin.com/learning offers unique features, including personalized course suggestions, career goal setting, and the ability to showcase completed courses on LinkedIn profiles.

In contrast, accessing LinkedIn Learning content through Workday Learning allows for automated training assignments, personalized recommendations based on HR data, and seamless tracking of completion and compliance.

Courses completed on LinkedIn Learning are not visible to your manager or others in your organization, whereas in Workday Learning, your learning history can be seen by others.

To align LinkedIn Learning content with employees’ career interests, a strategic, skills-based approach that balances personalization with organizational goals is key.

1. Start by identifying each employee’s career aspirations and skill gaps through tools like performance reviews or development plans. LinkedIn Learning’s Role Guides and Next Role Explorer can help visualize potential career moves and the skills required.
2. Leverage Learning Paths—curated course bundles focused on specific roles or skills—which can be assigned as-is or customized to fit your organization’s needs.
3. Finally, encourage employees to set Career Goals within the platform, which personalizes course recommendations based on their ambitions and current proficiency, making learning more relevant and engaging.

LinkedIn Learning doesn’t currently display the exact “last updated” date on course pages the way some other platforms do.

However, here are a few ways you can get a sense of how current a course is:

1. Check the course description and content – Instructors sometimes mention the year or version of the tools being used, a content page may have the last updated date.
2. Contact LinkedIn Learning support – For specific courses, they may be able to confirm the last update date.

If you are accessing courses directly through LinkedIn Learning (via linkedin.com/learning), contact LinkedIn Support.

If you are accessing LinkedIn Learning courses through Workday, contact AskHR for support.
