Testimonials
"I think a lot of people would truly benefit from watching these videos especially if they are being required in class. It's very important to have these resources because they allow us to learn different things that we normally wouldn’t learn on a daily basis. Its very beneficial to incorporate in all UTRGV because it provides different skills."
- Karina Esquivel
“I am working on my master’s program and I didn’t have a lot of soft skills or technical skills to build upon, I only knew how to study hard but with LinkedIn Learning I saw that it was a great avenue for me to learn the gaps that I was missing such as communication and negotiation. I took this time to actually develop myself professionally and personally to get the best version of myself.”
