Dear Faculty and Staff,
Whether you’re interested in learning new skills so you can better perform your current work or you want to grow into a new position or career path, your JHU benefits can help. The university offers a host of resources, such as online and in-person classes, books, videos, podcasts, and more. We can also help managers and supervisors with performance management, employee engagement, and organization development to optimize team effectiveness.
Now, we are excited to expand our learning options by offering all JHU faculty and staff free access to thousands of online courses through LinkedIn Learning. This platform (formerly called Lynda.com) offers courses taught by real-world professionals on leadership, management, data science, software development and many other topics.
LinkedIn Learning also offers Learning Paths that help you advance your career in new directions. For example, “Become a Senior Manager” features 10 courses designed to help you make the transition to senior leadership and acquire the skills you need to make decisions that drive value in your department. I hope you will access LinkedIn Learning today to see all the options that are available to you.
Remember, as stated in the JHU HR Personnel Policies manual, all faculty, managers, and supervisors should ensure that each staff member reporting to them has a minimum of three full days of training per year in areas of knowledge and skill relevant to their job duties and professional aspirations. Make time for the courses, workshops, and other resources that JHU provides to help you achieve your goals.
Access to LinkedIn Learning is available in the my.JHU.edu portal under the Education icon on the left-side menu bar. You can also access it directly through this link:

Sincerely,
Heidi Conway
