# Making Learning More Accessible

Creating a library with diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at its core is essential to our mission at LinkedIn Learning. While we’re proud of our efforts, we also know that there’s more we can do to make all of our global learners welcome.

A crucial part of this is accessibility. Alongside the accessibility and disability inclusion efforts taking place across LinkedIn and Microsoft , at LinkedIn Learning we're working to be an industry leader in developing engaging, accessible content. With Global Accessibility Awareness Day next week, I’m excited to share some of what we’ve been focused on for the past several months.

Audio Described Courses on LinkedIn Learning

We're on a journey to not only make our LinkedIn Learning platform more accessible, but also to make our course content more accessible. As one piece of this work, we’ve begun exploring adding audio descriptions for some of our courses about accessibility and disability, like Digital Accessibility for the Modern Workplace from instructor Hector Minto . By adding these descriptions, our hope is to make more of our learning available to learners who are blind or visually impaired.

In March, we expanded this program by releasing the first-ever audio-described version of our popular Professional Soft Skills Learning Pathway to help job seekers who are blind or visually impaired upskill for in-demand jobs. These courses help learners develop skills that hiring managers value most, from emotional intelligence and critical thinking to unconscious bias and teamwork.

Check them out to learn how to:



All 12 courses in this 13-hour learning path will be unlocked for all of our members–no subscription required–through December 31, 2025.
