As technology develops and becomes a bigger part of our personal and professional lives, the influence of professional social media channels also grows. Enhancing your online profile makes you stand out and helps possible employers and partners find you and contact you easier. For example, adding certificates to your LinkedIn profile is one way of showing your expertise and proving your competences.
LinkedIn, which we at ITCE use on daily basis, supports the “Add to Profile for Certifications” option. The option allows users to share their professional certifications in one click. According to social media officials, on average, members with certifications on their profile receive 6 times more views on their profiles. Certifications not only demonstrate dedication and motivation, but also practical knowledge and specific set of skills.
If you have attended a training at ITCE and received a certificate, you can add it to your LinkedIn profile. This could help you improve your existing professional network and find opportunities for possible new partnerships. In addition, it can enhance your employability skills.
That is why we have prepared a step-by-step guide of the process of adding your certifications to your LinkedIn profile.
