LinkedIn Learning is an intelligent skill-building platform that empowers employees to develop the right skills to advance their careers, and helps organizations grow and retain talent. The platform includes over 20,000 courses taught by expert instructors across business, technical and creative categories.
“From the outset, our mission has been to foster transparency in the labor market. As we gained access to more insights from both employees and employers, we expanded our vision to encompass becoming an HR expert and providing services and products that empower companies and employees alike. We understand the profound impact of skills beyond what’s written on a CV, and this partnership with LinkedIn aligns perfectly with our goal to become even more relevant to our B2B and B2C clients. Our initiative also addresses a significant gap in the Romanian workforce, where only 8% of employees cite professional development prospects as a reason for staying at their current job. This factor ranks seventh among the top reasons Romanians choose a particular job, trailing salary package, job stability, and team dynamics. We firmly believe in the vast potential for growth in terms of learning prospects and career advancement, and we are confident that this partnership will yield substantial benefits for both employees and companies, ultimately leading to a more skilled and engaged workforce” stated Costin Tudor, CEO Undelucram.ro.
According to LinkedIn’s 2023 Workplace report, the skills needed for any given job are changing more rapidly than ever before. LinkedIn data shows that since 2015, skill sets for jobs have changed by around 25%. By 2027, this number is expected to double. And 89% of L&D professionals agree that proactively building skills will help their organizations navigate the future of work.
Moreover, companies that actively nurture the professional development of their employees witness a notable surge in internal mobility. According to LinkedIn data compiled between July 2022 and July 2023, companies whose employees exhibited outstanding skill development in the preceding 12 months boast a 15% higher internal mobility rate compared to those where employees did not excel.
“Businesses need to acquire new skills at an unprecedented rate, which means they have to help their employees evolve through upskilling and internal mobility. Whereas in the past, companies relied heavily on talent acquisition as the primary means to obtain new skills, this strategy is no longer sufficient in today’s dynamic labor market and business landscape. We believe this partnership with Undelucram will lead to a significant increase of the skill level of employees”, stated Elena Semenova, Head of Central Eastern Europe, LinkedIn Talent Solutions.
Undelucram.ro, launched in 2011 by entrepreneur Costin Tudor, is the largest online employee community in Romania. Since 2019, the platform has expanded worldwide, creating WhereWeWork.com, a regional network of employer branding and online recruting platforms, with more than 1.5 million employees at a regional level.
