This initiative, under the “Glance for Good” program, aims to empower over one million users in India by democratizing 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 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.

Our partnership with Glance Smart Lock Screen is unlocking new ways for users to seamlessly discover LinkedIn Learning courses and relevant editorial content.
