You might have 5, 10, 15 years of work experience, but I will let you in on a little secret, you can always learn a little bit more in an area that you already have knowledge in or learn something new that might help you with your career.  

LinkedIn Learning used to be known as Lynda.com. Lynda.com was an online learning platform that launched in 1995.  In 2015, LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com. After that, Microsoft bought LinkedIn a year later in 2016.
