Learning is key to staying future-ready — and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Just five minutes a day can help you build new skills, stay current, and create a learning habit that lasts.
That’s why we’re excited to launch the 2026 LinkedIn Learning Challenge — a simple, flexible way for UBCO faculty and staff to make learning part of their regular routine.
How the Challenge Works
Participants are invited to complete a 20-day learning challenge during each cycle by spending just five minutes a day on LinkedIn Learning.
You can:
- Access your LinkedIn Learning account
- Follow the pre-designed Learning Habits Calendar, or create your own learning plan
(A new theme will be introduced each cycle) - Complete the 20-day challenge at your own pace within the cycle timeframe
- Learn on desktop or mobile — at work, at home, or on the go
- Build a consistent learning habit and be entered into a prize draw
2026 Challenge Timelines
Participants may take part in one or more cycles:
- Cycle 1: January 14 – February 27

Who Can Participate?
The 2026 LinkedIn Learning Challenge is open to all interested UBC Okanagan faculty and staff.
