Case Study: Province of Ontario boosts student career readiness with LinkedIn Learning

Province of Ontario drives 4.7 million LinkedIn Learning video views across 1 million licenses

The Province of Ontario faced a challenge in preparing its higher education students for the workforce, as a survey revealed significant gaps between the skills students believed were critical for career success and what they were learning in school. To address this, the province sought an online learning solution to help students, staff, and faculty learn in-demand skills and foster a culture of lifelong learning.

The province implemented LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com), providing one million licenses across its higher education system. The solution was used to watch 4.7 million videos, helping students bridge the gap from school to work by learning practical and soft skills. This investment by LinkedIn Learning resulted in over 300,000 users gaining the immediate skills needed for job interviews and careers while instilling a new dedication to self-directed learning.
