LinkedIn and Lynda.com: Closing the Skills Gap & Online Learning

LinkedIn operates the world’s largest professional network on the Internet with more than 467 million members in over 200 countries and territories.

Professionals are signing up to join LinkedIn globally, at a rate of more than two new members per second. There are more than 40 million students and recent college graduates on LinkedIn; the fastest growing demographic on the platform.

Chances are you are already part of, or familiar with the world's largest professional network on the internet. What does a professional profile have to do with learning?
