Learn more about LinkedIn, LinkedIn Learning on March 13 at Austin Peay
A collaboration of Austin Peay State University departments is hosting LinkedIn Learning Day on March 13 to help students and employees – or anyone in the community – learn more about LinkedIn Learning and LinkedIn profiles.
The day will have three morning sessions and four afternoon sessions exploring various aspects of the online platform, and LinkedIn officials will be on hand. Officials also will debut the local workforce snapshot, so you can tailor your learning toward the skills local employers say they need in their future employees.
The event is structured so you can attend sessions that fit your day. All sessions will be on the third floor of the Morgan University Center at Austin Peay. Here is a breakdown of the sessions:
