LinkedIn Learning?

Hey all!

After last month’s company shake up with layoffs, new management structure and some fun new processes we’ve been offered a free LinkedIn Learning subscription as a “benefit”!

The catch? We need to complete 16–24 hours of courses by year end. Local management wants us to focus on classes that would “make us better employees”, skipping over the part of the corporate presentation where it states we are allowed and encouraged “try new things outside normal work skills”

I’m wondering if anyone’s taken LinkedIn Learning courses that would actually help with pedal building? I’ve seen some general electronics ones, a few on graphic design, 3D printing and Raspberry PI but nothing on SpinASM. (No sourdough bread baking either.)

Recommendations?
 
Nothing substantial to add except if you do take "better employee" courses, make sure you get paid for them. If they expect you to do these off hours or without compensation, either tell the to F off or negate your other duties to do them.
"Get better on your own time" has become a new wrinkle in employer divestment. A far throw from tuition reimbursement.

100000%

Since it is mandatory, regardless of the class I am taking, I’m doing it 9-5 M-F.

I’ll even block out time on my calendar to ensure zero interruptions.

Too bad there isn’t a PPCB class, totally would bring in a bunch of parts and soldering iron.

Sorry boss, can’t help, doing a LinkedIn learning class on how to build a Kliche pedal.
 
There's some audio mixing, audio recording, music production and sound engineering classes. Music theory too.

I saw those, I have a background in audio engineering, Larry Crane had a couple things on there that looked interesting.
 
I liked the Electronics courses by Barron Stone. Some review, some new understanding of the basics. The Illustrator courses are very good, and there's a basic Affinity course.
