What is Microcredential

A series of carefully curated learning activities that provide learners with opportunities to gain specific skills or competencies that are workforce relevant and valued by employers, without enrolling in a credential program. The outcome can be shared digitally and allows employers to easily identify candidates who have mastered a specific skill set for success in their industry.

What to expect from the program

This is an online program taught in real-time with instructors skilled in leadership and management with practical organizational experience. Self-paced activities complement the virtual lectures and include simulations, on-the-job scenarios, and relevant reading assignments. The program concludes with a capstone presentation that incorporates concepts from one of the badges.

Everything was extremely well organized: the materials were posted in advance, all presenters used current research information, all sessions started on time, assignment explained at the beginning of the sessions. The most impressive was the selection of the presenters: all of them are professionals with real life experiences, high achievers in various fields of business, great leaders themselves, genuine and empowering others.
