Micro-Credentials

Workforce & Continuing Education

In today's fast-paced world, regular schooling might not suit everyone. Micro-credentials are a simple way to learn new skills and show them to employers and peers. They're like little certificates that prove you've mastered certain skills. You can learn what you need in less time than a regular degree. Also, you can add them to your degree to customize your education to fit your career plans and interests.

Why Choose a Micro-credential?

  • Flexibility: Micro-credentials are designed to be nimble. Often, you can complete them at your own pace, whether you're a full-time professional, a student, or balancing multiple responsibilities.
  • Relevance: Micro-credentials allow you to focus on the specific skills you need for career advancement or personal development goals.
  • Industry Recognition: Many employers recognize micro-credentials as tangible evidence of your expertise in a particular area. They can enhance your resume and set you apart in a competitive job market.
  • Continuous Learning: In today's rapidly evolving industries, staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies is crucial. Micro-credentials enable you to upskill and adapt to changing demands continually.
