Glance has partnered with LinkedIn, to revolutionise learning and career growth. As part of this, LinkedIn will offer free and curated access to select courses, reports, and video content around off-beat careers, upskilling, and soft skills directly on Glance Smart Lock Screens, reaching over 235 million Indians. This initiative, under the “Glance for Good” program, aims to empower over one million users in India by democratising access to upskilling and career resources, enhancing employment opportunities, and driving meaningful impact.
Through this partnership, Glance users will gain seamless access to select curated LinkedIn Learning course library and editorial content, categorised into three key areas: offbeat careers, which introduce lesser-known paths like showbiz, drone piloting, and influencer marketing; upskilling, offering strategies to enhance job searches and career advancement; and soft skills, focusing on essential workplace abilities such as building confidence, mastering negotiations, and navigating power dynamics. Further, through personalised course recommendations and intuitive access via Glance Smart Lock Screen, this partnership aims to empower users with the practical knowledge required to thrive in their career journeys today.
Within 45 days of its launch, LinkedIn’s content has garnered over 170 million glances on the lock screen.
