The Office of Information Technology was pleased to be part of last night’s Hegi Family Career Development Center All Majors Career & Internship Fair. As we continue to promote our campus license for lynda.com (a leading online learning platform), don’t forget that once you complete a course, you can capitalize on that to enhance your LinkedIn profile. This is an excellent way to showcase your hands-on experience and practical knowledge of a skill set you’ve acquired.
Certificates of Completion
Certificates of completion can be accessed through your lynda.com profile and posted to your LinkedIn page directly. This is a great way to show an employer your willingness to learn a new skill and your experience in a particular software (or proficiency) even if you haven’t yet used that skill set professionally.
Lynda.com offers courses in business, software, technology and creative skills. Currently, they have over 5,700 courses and 255,000 video tutorials which can be accessed through mobile or desktop devices.
