In today’s competitive job market, employers are looking for candidates with a diverse range of skills. We’re not just talking about knowing different computer programs or speaking several languages…nowadays employers want their new hire to come fully equipped for whatever job/duty that might be thrown at them. Well many of our unemployed 20-40 something community members are turning to Lynda.com to brush up on some of those well-needed and well-forgotten skills. We have seen a trend in people going back to school or enrolling in a class or two at their local community college to polish their skills; but going to class and studying leaves little time to look/find a job. Lynda.com solves that problem. For just $25 dollars a month (or $250 dollars a year) it costs to sign up with Lynda.com, Lynda provides an online classroom for you to refresh your skills in hundreds of subjects like video editing, Photoshop, web design, HTML, Illustration and so much more.
The coolest feature that we have come across, (as well as what our community members who are students of Lynda.com) is the user doesn’t just have access to the course they signed up for but they’re welcome to takeall of the courses Lynda offers. So you may go in for a course on Microsoft Office, but come out an expert on Office, Photoshop, and HTML. It’s an amazing deal for the price and in the current job marketplace it can only help you get a leg up on your competition!
