Percolate Your Job Search

Narrowing the skills gap, one video at a time.

Boston PHP wants to help you Percolate Your Job Search. You may not be in the job market right now. However, if you are, let's get back to basics.

LinkedIn Learning has launched a seven-course Learning Path entitled Start Your Career on LinkedIn. While the strategies tend to focus on entry-level careers, there is plenty of content that will appeal to more seasoned professionals navigating the complex new world of AI search. Three-plus hours of online training has been made available for FREE, for a limited time. Drop in, explore the lineup, and skill up alongside your Boston PHP community. All you need to begin is a valid LinkedIn account.
