Talk to an expert

Connect LinkedIn Learning to the goals employees are working toward

Employees can find and connect LinkedIn Learning courses from the Betterworks goal or milestone experience. Once connected, learning progress updates the associated milestone in Betterworks, keeping development tied to the work it supports.

How it works

Search — Enter a keyword to find LinkedIn Learning courses from the goal or milestone experience.
Select — Choose one or more courses to connect to the goal or milestone.
Track progress — As meaningful course progress occurs in LinkedIn Learning, Betterworks updates the connected milestone through its hourly sync.

Turn a development goal into relevant learning

Employees can connect LinkedIn Learning courses to Development Goals from the Unified Talent Profile. AI-assisted recommendations help surface courses that fit the employee’s development context, giving them a more direct path from a skill they want to build to learning that supports it.

How it works

Choose a focus — Select a skill to develop or create a Development Goal.
See recommendations — Review AI-recommended LinkedIn Learning courses based on the employee’s job context, target skill, and skill level.
Connect and track — Choose courses that support the Development Goal, then track associated learning progress in Betterworks.
