Mission: LinkedIn’s vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce and to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. LinkedIn’s acquisition of Lynda.com in 2015 places LinkedIn in the unique position to prepare students for success, modernize the classroom and ensure your faculty, staff and alums continue to professionally develop. Lynda.com is a leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn the business, software, technology and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. The combination of quality, expert-led content from Lynda.com, the data driven insights from LinkedIn’s massive professional network has allowed us to create a comprehensive learning solution that can help you prepare for your academic and career success.

Volunteer Position Description: As a LinkedIn Learning Student Ambassador, students will be encouraged to become leaders on campus and take ownership of their own learning. Students will be trained directly by the LinkedIn Customer Success Team and ambassadors will develop an impressive portfolio of work as they engage in a series of initiatives to bring about awareness around LinkedIn and the free access of Lynda.com available to all students, staff and faculty across their institution. Student Ambassadors will be expected to speak directly to the student population establishing a strong following of users within the student community.
