Case Study: Harvard helps community members build careers with LinkedIn Learning

Harvard expands career program to 25 more participants with LinkedIn Learning

Harvard sponsored a community workforce development program called Test Your Career, which aimed to help local residents define and advance their professional goals. The program's challenge was to provide participants with a clear, supportive path for career development by combining self-assessment with actionable skill-building.

The solution implemented by the vendor, LinkedIn Learning, provided the online learning component where participants took courses to build specific skills identified through their assessments. As a result, participants earned numerous LinkedIn Learning certifications, with one cohort member securing a new job directly attributed to the program, leading to overwhelmingly positive feedback and plans from Harvard to expand the program.
