LinkedIn and Fujitsu Partner to Offer AI Training

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, and Fujitsu Learning Media have announced a strategic partnership to deliver comprehensive training programs designed to equip professionals with the essential skills needed to harness the power of generative AI.

This innovative collaboration will offer a blended learning experience that combines LinkedIn’s extensive e-learning platform with Fujitsu Learning Media’s in-person and live online training sessions. By seamlessly integrating these two modalities, the partnership aims to provide a holistic learning journey that covers both foundational knowledge and practical application of generative AI.

Addressing the Gap in AI Training

Many organizations have struggled to achieve high completion rates and foster deep, practical understanding through e-learning alone. By combining e-learning with hands-on training, this partnership addresses these challenges, enabling learners to acquire a comprehensive skill set and effectively apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

A Strategic Alliance

Both LinkedIn and Fujitsu Learning Media are backed by industry giants with a strong commitment to AI innovation. Microsoft, LinkedIn’s parent company, is a leading provider of AI services, while Fujitsu, the parent company of Fujitsu Learning Media, has a wealth of experience in AI implementation. This strategic alliance leverages the expertise and resources of both organizations to create a world-class training program.

Expanding Reach and Impact

With hundreds of Japanese companies already using LinkedIn’s platform, the partnership aims to reach 2,000 companies within the next three years. By empowering organizations with the skills and knowledge to effectively utilize generative AI, this initiative has the potential to drive significant growth and innovation across industries.

“We are excited to partner with Fujitsu Learning Media to help organizations of all sizes harness the power of AI and e-learning,” said Wakana Tanaka, Japan Country Manager at LinkedIn. “Building on the success of the Fujitsu Group, we aim to equip more organizations with the tools they need to compete on a global stage.”
