DAVENPORT, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kaplan University and LinkedIn are offering up to 1,000 three month LinkedIn Premium subscriptions to new users registering for Career Journey, a first-of-its-kind interactive online course that guides, engages and inspires individuals through various stages of their career.
“The combination of Career Journey and a LinkedIn Premium subscription provides career-focused individuals with a complete toolbox to use in working towards achieving their professional goals and aspirations,” said Jacqueline Jones, Kaplan University Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships and Innovation.
