What are micro-credentials?

Micro-credentials are short-duration training programs defined by their focus on industry-relevant skills or competencies. They are designed to meet the needs of adult learners and employers who require focused training in a specific skill, tool, or technology – whether to adapt to rapid changes in their sector, anticipate future trends, or overcome the unprecedented skills shortages and mismatches that hinder the growth of the Canadian economy.

How can micro-credential programs and their graduates help my business?

Skills-Focused

Micro-credential programs focus on a specific skill – what someone needs to perform a function of their job well. Possessing these specialized skills allows graduates to be job-ready, boosting the productivity of your team from day one.

Industry-Aligned

Micro-credentials are often created with input from business sectors – setting them apart from traditional degree programs. Graduates will come to your organization equipped with the tools they need to address today’s most pressing industry challenges.

Resource-Efficient

Many micro-credentials are self-paced, fully online, can be completed in less than 12 weeks, and are offered at a low-cost. This helps your organization be efficient when planning staff training and allows you to identify job candidates who are committed to their professional development.
