Cengage Work, the workforce skills training division of Cengage Group, has significantly expanded its partnership with LinkedIn Learning through its Infosec Institute brand. This collaboration is designed to close critical workforce skills gaps by making job-aligned artificial intelligence and cybersecurity training more accessible to millions of professionals on the platform, with over 10,000 learners already enrolled.
Cengage Work expands its cybersecurity and AI training on LinkedIn Learning.
The initiative, via Infosec Institute, has already enrolled 10,000 professionals.
It offers over 20 specialized courses, from quick skill-builders to deep dives.
The move addresses a critical AI skills gap identified in recent workforce data.
Cengage Work is also launching new AI security bootcamps and literacy courses.
The goal is to provide flexible, job-relevant training for an AI-driven workforce.
This expansion directly responds to a pressing need in the modern workforce. According to Cengage Group's own research, only half of recent graduates feel they have sufficient AI skills for the jobs they are applying for. By leveraging the extensive reach of LinkedIn Learning, the partnership aims to bridge this gap by delivering high-quality, flexible training directly to professionals, helping organizations address critical talent shortages in high-demand technical domains.
The training available through this initiative is focused on practical, real-world application. Infosec's expanding library on LinkedIn Learning includes courses covering critical areas such as AI and machine learning security, security architecture, and threat intelligence. Beyond the LinkedIn platform, Cengage Work is furthering its AI literacy mission through Infosec's hands-on bootcamps for professionals and ed2go's courses that integrate AI readiness into fields like healthcare and business.
This multi-pronged approach underscores a strategic commitment to making essential digital skills more accessible. By delivering trusted, specialized content through a platform millions of professionals already use for career development, Cengage Work is effectively embedding skills training into the workflow, empowering individuals and organizations to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven economic landscape.
