LinkedIn Learning now available to Wyomingites

Wyoming residents have access to new career development resources to help recover from the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Wyoming State Library received $52,297 from the federal CARES Act — via the Institute of Museum and Library Services — to address the impacts of the current health crisis in Wyoming communities. Some of the funding was recently used to support book donations on the Wind River Reservation and some was used to open up LinkedIn Learning to all Wyoming residents with a library card.

LinkedIn Learning is an online resource offering over 6,500 courses for career development. Users can take as many classes as they want, with no deadlines or mandatory class dates.

“We’re pleased to provide this resource to individuals across the state,” said Wyoming State Librarian Jamie Markus. “Career development is important in any circumstance, but has become a crucial part of improving workforce opportunities in recent months. LinkedIn Learning is a great resource that will benefit our individuals, businesses and communities alike.”

Topics include Microsoft Office programs, management skills, marketing, accounting, coding and more, which library leaders say will benefit employees and small business owners in any field. Individuals can take single classes to cater to their specific career goals or follow a predesigned learning path for structured skill sets, such as “Become an SEO Expert” and “Transition from Military to Student Life.”
