About LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform with thousands of on-demand video courses by industry experts covering a wide range of technical, business, software, and creative topics. It provides a flexible, self-paced way to explore, develop, and refine your skills to meet your career goals.

Visit the LinkedIn Learning homepage for more information.

Getting Started


LinkedIn Learning License

You need a LinkedIn Learning license to use the platform. To get a license, reach out to your agency’s LinkedIn Learning sub-administrator. Your sub-administrator is likely a training director, learning management administrator, or human resources director at your agency. Your training director, supervisor, or manager will work with the Enterprise Talent Development (ETD) team at Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) to help you get a license.

If you’re unsure how to reach your sub-administrator, or you are an MMB employee, fill out the Request a LinkedIn Learning License form. Filling out the form does not guarantee you will receive a license. An ETD representative will follow up with you on the status of your request.


Set Up Your Account

  1. You’ll receive an email from LinkedIn Learning to activate your account. Follow the instructions in the email. If you don’t find it in your inbox, check your email’s spam and junk folder. Move it from your spam folder to your inbox and avoid reporting it as phishing as this can cause issues with future password resets.
  2. Follow the prompts in LinkedIn Learning to set up your account. Use your State of Minnesota email address to log in.
  3. Optional: You can connect your LinkedIn Learning account with your personal LinkedIn account. Connecting your personal account allows you to share your course accomplishments with your network. Also, if your license needs to be reset due to login issues, your learning history is saved in your personal account. This is optional, and you can still complete courses without connecting the accounts.
  4. Watch the How to Use LinkedIn Learning course to better understand all the features available to you and how to use them.

Questions?

For questions about LinkedIn Learning, contact your agency's sub-administrator. Your sub-administrator is likely a training director, learning management administrator, or human resources director at your agency.
