A new solution for companies to develop and engage their internal talent
As professionals now hold, on average, twice as many jobs as they did fifteen years ago, the traditional idea of a linear career has well and truly fractured. For organisations heading deeper into 2026, this reality presents a pressing challenge - how do you build and evolve talent when skills are changing faster than job titles can keep up?
Now, the question has shifted from whether workforces need to adapt, to how organisations can gain real-time visibility into emerging skills and translate that insight into meaningful career development for employees.
According to LinkedIn research, 90% of chief people officers say they need real-time visibility into shifting skill requirements in order to respond effectively - something that has historically been difficult to achieve at scale.
To address this challenge, LinkedIn began chartering its Learning Career Hub in May 2025, and it’s now available to LinkedIn Learning Hub customers across Australia. Powered by LinkedIn’s Economic Graph, which draws on data from over a billion career paths and millions of weekly skill updates, Career Hub combines an organisation’s internal job and career architecture with real-time skills intelligence and personalised learning experiences.
20% longer employee tenure, 18–22% higher internal mobility: Perks of Career Hub
At its core, Career Hub is designed to connect employees to internal roles that match their evolving skills, while increasing their visibility to recruiters. It allows employees to explore career pathways, understand the skills required for future roles, and access relevant learning content - all within tools they already use across LinkedIn.com, LinkedIn Learning and LinkedIn Recruiter.
According to LinkedIn’s recent research, organisations using LinkedIn Learning are seeing up to 20% longer employee tenure, 18–22% higher internal mobility, and 13% lower attrition. Businesses using LinkedIn Learning are also achieving 3.4 times faster growth in AI skills.
For organisations like Flight Centre, this shift has been transformative. Speaking to HRD, Sam Van Gool, Global Head of Talent and Employee Experience, described how Career Hub helped the organisation reimagine its talent architecture.
“We treated talent architecture as a living system, not a static PDF,” Van Gool explained. “Using LinkedIn Career Hub, we generated 377 role profiles in five weeks, consolidating nearly 5,000 legacy titles and creating a shared skills language ahead of our HRIS rollout. The lesson: let AI handle the groundwork, then use expert review to fine-tune. The payoff is real-time visibility for workforce planning, faster internal mobility for employees, and a foundation that evolves as the business changes.”
Early adopters use Career Hub to boost internal mobility, reduce attrition
Adam Gregory, Senior Director of ANZ Talent & Learning Solutions at LinkedIn, also told HRD that the platform addresses a long-standing disconnect in workforce strategy.
“The gap between employees’ existing skills and those required by companies continues to widen. Recruitment, learning, and internal mobility are still too often siloed and disconnected. With Career Hub, we offer an integrated, holistic approach that places career development at the heart of companies’ HR strategies. Early adopters like Tripadvisor and Netsmart are already using Career Hub to boost internal mobility and reduce attrition – with promising results”.
LinkedIn’s latest survey of Australian chief people officers shows that 92% agree the capabilities required for effective HR leadership are changing, while 90% say organisation-wide technology adoption is now a core HR responsibility.
What’s more, when asked about the skills most critical for future leadership, Australian CPOs identified growth mindset, AI and technology literacy, and ethical decision-making as top priorities. Over the next 12 months, their focus is on scaling AI adoption, helping CEOs rethink organisational design, and upskilling managers to lead in an AI-enabled workplace.
