LinkedIn will soon open up its online professional networking service to high school students as part of an effort to help steer their collegiate careers.
Effective September 12, the new minimum age to create a LinkedIn account will range from 13 years old to 16 years old in most countries where LinkedIn operates.
LinkedIn is lowering its age requirements so high school students can tap into a new feature, called University Pages, designed to help them learn more about colleges around the world and connect undergraduates with alumni. About 200 universities have already set up pages on LinkedIn, and the company said thousands of more schools will be given access to the new feature during the next few weeks.
By lowering its age requirements, LinkedIn will open up new growth opportunities that could help the company widen its usage and bring in more revenue. It doesn't cost money to set up a LinkedIn profile, but the Mountain View, California, company charges fees to gain additional access and insights into its membership. Linked also sells advertising space that becomes more valuable as its audience grows.
