Managers can customize their education hubs so that specific Lynda courses are available for their employees as well as any internal corporate training materials or third-party resources. LinkedIn vice president of product Hari Srinivasan said the company’s new hub builds on its $1.5 billion acquisition of online training firm in 2015. The new portal, called LinkedIn Learning Hub, is a successor to the service’s current LinkedIn Learning Pro, a three-year-old education service. The Microsoft-owned professional networking service said Tuesday that it plans an online portal for businesses to offer their workers training materials and videos on subjects ranging from machine learning to management strategy.


LinkedIn is betting that the rise of artificial intelligence and related technologies means that more companies will want to train their workers with relevant skills.
