Professional Development with LinkedIn Learning and Elevated


Auburn University employees have access to thousands of LinkedIn Learning courses, videos, and learning paths, providing them with opportunities to grow personally and professionally and easily access the latest knowledge and skills to succeed in their careers.

There are two ways to access LinkedIn Learning. In AU Access, employees can access a direct link to LinkedIn Learning training that is not tracked in ElevatED (Auburn University's Employee Education Center). Employees can also access a separate link in AU Access to ElevatED, which integrates LinkedIn Learning as part of the employee's training history.

Accessing LinkedIn Learning (training that is not tracked in ElevatED)


1. Navigate to auaccess.auburn.edu and log in with your Auburn credentials. Under the Employees tab, find the Employee Resource Tools card and scroll down to select LinkedIn Learning
