<p>Six months ago, we found ourselves facing a global pandemic that threatened to take thousands of lives and majorly disrupt our global economy. And in a short period of time, many of those fears became reality and continue to impact the lives and jobs of millions around the world.</p>
<p>We realized quickly that we were in a <a href="https://blog.linkedin.com/2020/june/30/helping-25-million-job-seekers-get-back-to-work">unique position to help those looking for a job</a>. And in June we came together <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/06/30/microsoft-launches-initiative-to-help-25-million-people-worldwide-acquire-the-digital-skills-needed-in-a-covid-19-economy/">across the Microsoft ecosystem</a> to launch an ambitious global skills initiative designed to help 25 million people worldwide acquire needed digital skills by the end of 2020.</p>
<p>Our number one goal was – and still is – to help those who became unemployed or under-employed due to the pandemic, get the skills they need to find and land their next job. With a quarter of a billion people suddenly without a job, setting up the unemployed with the skills and tools they need became our top priority.</p>
<p>Today, I’m excited to share an update on the program’s progress. And the news is good! As part of the initiative, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and GitHub have collectively reached <strong>more than 10 million learners around the globe</strong>.
