In 2025, LinkedIn launched our Future of Work Fund to help ensure that everyone across the global workforce can access the benefits of AI. In our first year, we supported leading nonprofit innovators around the world harnessing AI to drive economic inclusion.
As we look towards the future, we are doubling down on our commitment to support career starters overcoming barriers navigate this time of labor market transition. We know that the way young adults prepare for and access the workforce is rapidly changing and are committed to harnessing our resources – including cash grant funding and in-kind supports – to meet the moment and help ensure no one is left behind.
