What’s the difference between LinkedIn and LinkedIn Learning?

LinkedIn is a professional networking platform where individuals create profiles, connect with colleagues, recruiters, and industry peers, join groups, follow companies, post updates, and share content. It’s used for career development, job searching, building a personal brand, and staying informed about industry and business news. It offers:

  • A profile listing your work history, education, skills, endorsements, etc.
  • A network of connections and a feed of content relevant to your profession.
  • Employer pages, job listings, and ways to highlight your accomplishments and presence in your field.

LinkedIn Learning is an online learning platform offering video-based courses across business, technology, creative, and professional skill areas. It provides subscriptions (individual or enterprise), giving access to a large library of courses you can take on demand. It offers:

  • Course content authored by industry experts, often broken into “learning paths” (beginner → intermediate → expert) for structured growth.
  • Personalized recommendations when linked with your LinkedIn profile - job title, industry, skills influence what courses are suggested.
  • Certificates you can share or display (for instance, on your LinkedIn profile) after completion of courses.
