Vancouver Community College (VCC) is pleased announce the launch of LinkedIn Learning as a complementary educational resource for registered VCC students.
LinkedIn Learning offers an extensive collection of expert-led videos covering a wide variety of topics including technology tips, communication skills, creative expression, personal hobbies, and more.
Using an existing myVCC account, students can now access:
- Thousands of topics. Choose from more than 5,000 videos.
- Convenient learning. Access on your schedule, from any desktop or mobile device.
- Personalized recommendations. Explore the most in-demand skills based on your experience.
- Helpful resources. Gain and reinforce new knowledge with quizzes and exercises, and track progress.
VCC’s development of the LinkedIn Learning platform for students was already underway prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but its launch was accelerated in order to provide students with a wider variety of resources as they study remotely.
“LinkedIn Learning is a rich resource to complement educational learning, career development, and personal growth for our students. We are excited to offer all VCC students this unique opportunity to enhance their post-secondary experience for free, at the convenience of their own time and place,” says Jane Shin, VCC Associate Vice President, Student Success.
