Drafting new LinkedIn Learning paths. The default ones leave much to be desired.

- People can learn faster
- Core skills are sometimes overlooked

Surprised because LinkedIn has job vacancy data, matching requirements with training shouldn't be difficult.

Become A Data Analyst Path, for example:

7 courses
Despite the fact most jobs require SQL knowledge. It wasn't included in this path.

And it's not for want of SQL courses, LinkedIn Learning has some of the finest SQL courses.

Become A Data Visualization Specialist: Tools path

7 courses covering

- Tableau
- D3 & DC.js
- R

and two Processing courses from 2012 & 2013

They're better off with a P5.js course given how much progress Processing has made and keeping the focus on Tableau, R, and Javascript

Or...they can add a Data Visualization course with Python.

That way people can navigate from analysis to visualization bases using the same tech stack.

I know there are business factors influencing certain decisions...and frankly I have nothing against them inserting Excel...it's still a key requirement for certain jobs.

However, placing relevant courses improves the user experience of the product.

FYI: @LinkedIn

Oooorrr...

@LinkedIn can allow people create learning paths just like Spotify and other music services do with playlists.
