"LinkedIn Learning gives the Georgetown Community free access to some of the best teaching modules available. I frequently refer students to it as a way to get new skills and update old ones."

"LinkedIn Learning has a huge library of courses. I used it to brush up on Excel before my first job, to learn video editing techniques for my hobby, and to practice for a certification test as a grad student. It's just a great resource!"

"As a graduating senior, I found LinkedIn Learning to help enhance my resume and add skills that I would not otherwise easily have the opportunity to learn."
Linking your account
Each user at Georgetown University has the choice to connect their Learning Profile with their LinkedIn Member Profile.
This option is not a requirement.
Additionally, every user has control over their privacy and the information they choose to share on their LinkedIn Profile. This can be reviewed, and updated via Setting and Privacy on their LinkedIn Profile Page.
Alumni Access
The Georgetown University Library's licensing agreement with LinkedIn Learning specifies that only current faculty, students, and staff are able to access the system. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to announce that access to LinkedIn Learning for students graduating in Spring 2020 has been extended through mid-August to assist with their professional development and career planning.
Many public library systems, like the DC Public Library and Arlington County Public Library, provide their residents with free access to Lynda.com and LinkedIn Learning. We recommend visiting your public library's website to see what type of online learning resources they provide.
