To access LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning Access through My Sac State
- First-time users: the first time an employee accesses LinkedIn Learning, they will be asked to answer a short series of questions about career goals and their training and upskilling interests. This is an important part of the process and will enable the employee to receive personalized training recommendations from the platform. Employees do not need to create or link their existing LinkedIn social media account to their university-provided LinkedIn Learning license.
