Adult Learners Week on LinkedIn Learning 2024

Adult Learners Week is an international celebration of lifelong learning which took place from 1-8 September.

To encourage people to learn something new, we shared a different online course from our Facebook page each day this week. We’ve compiled them all here.

LinkedIn Learning features a huge range of short online courses that can help you get started with a new skill or hobby. Access is free with your library membership. Get started today and explore our handpicked courses below.
