The giants Microsoft and LinkedIn have been working since 2020 to minimize the impacts of the pandemic on the professional sphere. In light of the closure of many companies and mass layoffs, both multinationals offered free courses and certifications for training in digital skills, such as software development, data analysis, and financial analysis.
Results Obtained Were Surprising
About 30.7 million people worldwide have benefited. Due to the success, Brand Smith, president of Microsoft, and Ryan Roslansky, CEO of LinkedIn, decided to extend the retraining courses. The new goal is to assist 250 thousand companies in their new hires.

“Our plans are based on a vision of what is necessary for a more inclusive post-pandemic recovery. Covid-19 has led to record numbers of unemployment, harming the livelihoods of people around the world,” wrote Smith in a statement.
According to Microsoft’s CEO, new initiatives and collaborations will be necessary, especially between the public and private sectors, so that professionals can re-enter the job market and overcome the adversities arising from the coronavirus pandemic.
