With the fall semester underway, Michigan Tech staff and faculty are encouraged to take advantage of their access to LinkedIn Learning, an on-demand training platform designed to help you gain new skills and advance your career. From "Office 365 for Educators," "Diversity and Inclusion in Technology," or "Managing Innovation," you’re sure to find a training course to meet your needs and interests.
