LinkedIn Learning Changes

Posted: 2025-11-06 10:46:01   Expiration: 2025-12-01 10:46:01

With UW-Stout’s transition to the new Workday platform, there have been significant changes in how our campus community accesses LinkedIn Learning

For several years, LinkedIn Learning has supported both instructional and professional development needs at UW-Stout. Now, with the Universities of Wisconsin integrating the full LinkedIn Learning catalog into Workday Learning, employees—excluding student employees—will access professional development resources directly through Workday. Meanwhile, faculty and staff who assign LinkedIn Learning content to students for instructional purposes will continue to use the existing UW-Stout instance.

Professional Development for all Employees (except student employees) 

All employees will now access LinkedIn Learning through Workday for all professional development. Completed LinkedIn Learning courses will appear on your learning transcript

Students

Students will continue to use our current instance of LinkedIn Learning.  They can access LinkedIn Learning through My Apps.

Instructional Use with Students 

In addition, Faculty, Instructional Academic Staff (IAS), and staff who use LinkedIn Learning with students will also be able to use our current instance (not Workday) when assigning courses and videos to students. (They will still go through Workday for their own professional learning)

Course History 

Previous certificates from Stout's LinkedIn Learning will not transfer to the Universities of Wisconsin’s LinkedIn Learning in Workday. If you have completed LinkedIn Learning courses in the past, there are a couple of options that you can do to retain those records.  

  • Download your certificates from LinkedIn Learning 
  • Link your personal LinkedIn account to your Stout LinkedIn Learning profile.  

These records won’t show in Workday, but you’ll retain access. Find instructions here: LinkedIn Learning – Course History. Please complete these steps by Monday, December 1st to ensure continued access.
