The client: Preparing students to be future ready

From computing to culinary science, Chandigarh University offers more than 50 courses, all aimed at providing holistic education and real-world experiences to students, the independent citizens of tomorrow.

The challenge: Producing well-rounded change-makers

In order to holistically develop students who can make a change in the world, it was clear that the university needed to equip students with knowledge and skills that go beyond textbooks – something the school could not do on their own, adding employability skills to bridge Industry academia gap.

The solution: Bridging the industry academia gap with LinkedIn Learning

• Self-directed learning: Since February 2022, LinkedIn Learning has given students the opportunity to learn at their own pace and convenience online. The platform’s flexibility encourages students to be self-motivated in their learning and pick up skills and knowledge beyond the classroom.

• Quality Content: Together with LinkedIn Learning, Chandigarh University now offers 15 unique credit-backed courses, including Entrepreneurship, Academic Writing and other core subjects. These industry-standard skill-enhancing courses equip students for the working world and beyond. Upon completion of courses, students receive a credit score which counts towards their final academic transcript.

• Empowering future leaders: Chandigarh University has participated in LinkedIn Learning’s Campus Ambassador Programme, where 15 young leaders (exceptional students) are chosen to visit LinkedIn’s Gurgaon campus and attend a year-long series of workshops aimed at nurturing young leaders and proactive change-makers.
