Last September, ŷڱƵ upgraded to LinkedIn Learning and expanded access to all employees and students. This online learning platform allows users to take advantage of thousands of courses, videos and certification practice content to expand their professional skillset.

One perk of this platform is the ability to connect your personal LinkedIn profile with LinkedIn Learning. By doing so, a learner will receive personalized course recommendations based on their job title or major and self-identified skills. After completing a course, you can add a badge of completion to your profile and share it with others through LinkedIn.

Bridging the gap between your personal social media and your career can be intimidating. You deserve to know who can view your data, and how much information they can see, when using LinkedIn Learning and LinkedIn. There is a limited amount of data the ŷڱƵ admins on Linked in Learning can seefor each user.

What can ŷڱƵ see?

For both employees and students, the University of ŷڱƵ’s LinkedIn administrators can see the following information:

  • All learning activities, such as courses viewed or completed, on an individual basis.
  • Profile information including name, work title and profile photo (NOTE: This applies only if a profile is connected).
  • Any courses from a personal account that have been transferred to a ŷڱƵ-affiliated LinkedIn Learning account.

What can ŷڱƵ not see?

If a LinkedIn profile is connected to ŷڱƵ’s LinkedIn Learning platform, activity from the private LinkedIn profile willԴdzbe shared. This includes:

  • Connections
  • Private messages
  • Any job search activity, including viewed job posts
  • Any learning courses viewed in the personal account
