How do I start?
As part of the on-boarding process as a new full-time faculty or staff member, Human Resources will initiate the LinkedIn Learning welcome email. For current employees, Human Resources has submitted a complete list of full-time faculty and staff to LinkedIn Learning.
I’ve started a course, but it’s not a good fit for what I needed. Can I stop taking it mid-course?
Yes.
Am I required to do any training? Will not doing training affect my annual review?
Whether training through LinkedIn Learning is required is a decision that is determined by your supervisor. You can be expected to complete training or learning courses if you and your supervisor have identified related performance management objectives as part of your annual performance review.
Will my supervisor know if I complete LinkedIn Learning training or learning courses?
No, only Human Resources and Information Technology have access to view all courses viewed or completed. You will be able to view and share your transcript when you log in.
Can I complete this training during my regular workday?
While meeting the operational needs of departments, supervisors and department chairs are encouraged to discuss with their direct reports job related on-demand learning modules that may be accessed during the workday.
Most employees really do want to learn and grow at work. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities may feel more satisfaction toward their jobs.
