Next Role Explorer

suggests realistic next jobs inside the company for each employee, using AI inference

Shows each employee suggested next roles and career paths inside their organisation, worked out with AI from the organisation’s own role data (job families, levels, skills, descriptions), LinkedIn-wide career trends and the employee’s career goal. LinkedIn notes the suggestions may contain mistakes. Part of Career Hub; an admin can turn it off under Customize → Learner features in the admin portal.

Learning Plans

builds a personalised career development plan from the employee’s goals and inferred skill level

Builds an AI-personalised career development plan with course recommendations from the career goals and skills an employee enters, using signals such as their industry, experience level and the proficiency LinkedIn infers for them. Part of Career Hub. There is no separate switch: Learning Plans go off when an admin turns off Career Goals under Settings → Customize → Learner features.

AI-powered role play

practise hard work conversations with an AI by text or voice, then get feedback on performance

The learner practises a difficult workplace conversation, such as giving feedback, resolving conflict or negotiating, by text or voice with an AI that plays the other person and adapts as the conversation goes. After each session the learner gets personalised feedback and course recommendations based on how they performed; learners can also write their own scenarios. An admin can turn it off for the organisation under Customize → Learner Features; this is a separate toggle from AI-powered coaching.

AI-powered coaching

AI chat that answers learners’ questions with advice and course suggestions, including while they watch a video

A generative AI chat that turns a learner’s question into course, video or learning-path suggestions, explains topics and gives advice and examples, drawing on LinkedIn Learning video transcripts for leadership and career topics and on general OpenAI knowledge otherwise. It personalises answers with the learner’s company and job title from their LinkedIn profile, career goals, followed skills and learning history. While a course video plays, the same feature answers questions about it from its transcript and recently watched videos. An admin can turn it off for the organisation under Customize → Learner Features.

Learning agent in Microsoft Copilot

suggests LinkedIn Learning courses and role plays inside Microsoft 365 Copilot from the user’s Microsoft 365 activity

The Learning agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot suggests LinkedIn Learning courses and role-play sessions based on the user’s role and their activity in Microsoft 365. Course suggestions are on by default where the organisation uses Microsoft Viva; role play appears only after a Microsoft 365 admin adds it as a provider in Manage Learning agent, for everyone or for selected groups, and it can be removed at any time.

AI-assisted content curation

admins describe a learning goal and AI suggests matching courses for learning paths

Admins and curators describe a learning objective in plain words and generative AI returns up to 25 best-matching courses or videos to add to a learning path or collection, or to download as a list; the ordinary search stays available. An admin can turn it off under Learning Management → Settings → Customization → Admin features.

Hands-On AI Coding Practice (CoderPad)

learners practise coding with AI coding agents and an AI chat assistant inside some courses

In a few English courses, learners practise coding in a browser workspace run by CoderPad, with AI coding agents and an AI chat assistant, choosing among models from several AI vendors. An admin can turn it off with the Enable Code Challenges setting, which removes all CoderPad practice, ordinary Code Challenges included, for every learner, while course videos stay viewable.

AI-powered dubbing

AI-voiced Italian and Polish audio for popular English courses

AI-generated Italian and Polish audio for 1,000 of the most popular English courses, on desktop. Each learner chooses it in the course player’s language and audio selector, as with subtitles; no admin setting is named.

Spotted something out of date in LinkedIn Learning?

A moved switch, a renamed feature, or one that is missing: say what, in a line or two. Every message is read by a person.

Checked by people, kept up to date. Every feature on this page was checked by a person against the vendor’s own pages, and the catalogue is re-checked and updated regularly. Mistakes can still happen and vendors change their products without notice, so always check the linked page before relying on it. These are facts about the software. They are not legal advice and do not say what the law requires of you. How the library is checked
