LinkedIn Learning Contract to End
Access to LinkedIn Learning Courses will end on June 30, 2023. Any courses you have in progress must be completed before that date.
The Vision Resource Center will be making new content available from the Cornerstone library for public sector employees, Cornerstone Content Anytime (CCA). There are several advantages to this new content subscription service:
- CCA offers the same topics that were available in the LinkedIn Learning Catalog, but the content is specifically designed for public sector employees.
- Taking CCA courses provides a smoother user experience
- All course content has been 508 tested and verified up to the WCAGS 2.1 AA standard.
This list shows analogous CCA course titles mapped to the top 125 courses in LinkedIn Learning.
Consider enrolling in one (or several) of the self-paced modules inside the Vision Resource Center to learn about important topics that count towards professional development hours.
