GALWAY, IRELAND - 2026-07-21

Alison has made it easier for Learners to share their completed courses with their professional network, adding a direct LinkedIn sharing option from the Alison Dashboard.

From the Completed Courses & Claimed Certificates section of their Dashboard, Learners can now use a button beside each completed course to add that achievement to their LinkedIn profile.

From Completing Courses to Becoming More Employable

For many Learners, completing a course is only one part of the journey. The next step is showing those skills in places where employers, recruiters, colleagues, and professional contacts can see them.

By making LinkedIn sharing available directly from the Dashboard, Alison is helping Learners bring their achievements into the professional spaces they already use. The feature reduces friction at a useful moment, when someone has completed a course and is ready to showcase their new knowledge or progress.

The update supports Alison’s wider focus on helping Learners turn free online learning into practical career progress. A completed course can show commitment, curiosity, and new capability, which can help them support job searches and share progress with people who may influence future opportunities.

A Useful Step After Every Completed Course

Alison’s Dashboard already gives Learners a central place to manage their learning. The new LinkedIn sharing option makes that space more useful after they complete their courses.

For people building confidence, changing roles, returning to work, or adding new skills alongside an existing job, small practical steps like this can matter. The update helps make completed learning easier to act on, not just easier to record.
