Getting the most out of LinkedIn Learning’s AI coaching 

Available for free with your GGC Account, LinkedIn Learning is a library of on-demand video courses that cover a wide range of subjects including business topics, software training, technology, and creative skills. In this blog post, we will explore what the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Coaching feature is, how it can help you, and five ways to get the most out of it. 

What is AI Coaching?

AI Coaching uses artificial intelligence to make custom recommendations to learning paths using industry insights. AI Coaching tailors courses, videos, and learning paths to your needs, allowing you to make the most of your time by directing you to relevant and valuable content.  

How Can AI Coaching Be Useful for Students? 

AI Coaching will analyze your connected LinkedIn profile and recommend personalized learning paths related to your career goals and interests. This custom approach ensures that you are learning what matters most for your future, filling any skill gaps you may have in your chosen career. 

Link your LinkedIn Learning account to your LinkedIn Profile.

Beyond just recommending courses, AI Coaching also offers insights into which skills are trending in your field and which ones might give you a competitive advantage in the job market. You can still learn and view courses outside of your learning path when using AI Coaching, but this feature makes it more obvious when you are watching videos that do not contribute directly to your learning goals. 

5 Ways to Get the Best Use Out of AI Coaching on LinkedIn Learning 

Now that you understand what AI Coaching is, here are five ways you can get the most out of using it while at GGC: 

AI Coaching bases its recommendations on LinkedIn profile information like your education, any listed skills, past experiences, and job aspirations or goals. The more accurate and up to date your profile is, the better the AI will be able to recommend courses that suit your needs. 

Before starting courses or building a learning path, take a moment to reflect on your educational goals. Are you looking to improve a specific skill for an upcoming interview or are you aiming to learn a new field entirely? Setting clear goals will help the AI Coaching feature filter out content that may not align with your short-term or long-term goals. 

Actively engage with the recommendations. Watch the videos, download exercises and take any chapter quizzes. This will help AI better understand your preferences over time, leading to more useful recommendations in the future. 

Supplement AI recommendations with organic searches to ensure you are not missing valuable content. 

AI Coaching provides insights into trending skills in your industry. Pay attention to these insights and make them a part of your learning strategy. If you notice a skill that is becoming increasingly in demand, consider taking a course on it to stay ahead of the curve. Be sure to also check AI Coaching recommendations against job postings to ensure you are building the skills employers are looking for. 

Conclusion

LinkedIn Learning’s AI Coaching feature is a powerful tool that can help you make the most of your learning experience. This feature offers personalized course recommendations, efficient skill development, and career guidance. To maximize the benefits of AI Coaching and prepare for future career opportunities, keep your profile updated, set clear career goals, engage with the AI recommendations, combine manual searches, and use skills insights.
