In a further step to become the de facto online resume, LinkedIn announced the extension of its Add to Profile program to colleges and universities. The program initially launched last year with professional providers in the continuing and vocational education space.
With the extension, colleges and universities can invite their graduates to add their degrees with a click of a button to their LinkedIn profiles. This can be done through a widget on the university’s website or via a link in an email.
Initially, thirteen institutions signed up for the new Add to Profile option, namely Arizona State University; Kaplan University; University of California, San Diego; Villanova University; George Washington University; Full Sail University; University of Manchester; University of Cambridge; Universitas Indonesia; The Open University; Algonquin College; Keio University; and the University of Melbourne.
