HJCLASS Partners with LinkedIn China
The cooperation agreement ("the Agreement") integrates skills verification to professional networking by enabling professionals to update their LinkedIn profiles with Certificates of Training earned on HJCLASS to increase their competitiveness in the workplace.
The Agreement makes HJCLASS LinkedIn's first designated partner in education in the Greater China region and follows LinkedIn's partnerships with Chinese Internet giants Tencent, Alibaba, and NetEase. With more than 500 million members in over 200 countries and territories, LinkedIn aims to help its users to build their professional image, gain business insights, expand professional networks and attract more business opportunities.
"'Certifications' is an important section under the 'Accomplishments' banner on a LinkedIn profile, as it allows one to showcase his/her competitive strength. We are very happy to work with HJCLASS, a key player in the online education space, to enrich our users' profiles as they hunt for employment opportunities," said Kun Zhao, Head of Business Development for LinkedIn China.
Going forward, students that complete 80% or more of a designated training course provided by HJCLASS can obtain a Certificate of Training, which will be synchronized to their LinkedIn profile to acknowledge their achievements and supplement their vocational education. Verified by LinkedIn, the Certificates are of great value in demonstrating ones' language or professional skills.
Offering an extensive range of educational resources and over 3,000 courses, including language training, professional training as well as guidance for College Entrance Examination and overseas studies, HJCLASS provides a vast range of structured online courses and professional teaching services for millions of users.
