Micro-Credentials and Digital Badges
What is a micro-credential?
A micro-credential is a short-term, post-secondary credential designed to provide specific career critical knowledge, skills and competencies that can be readily transferred to the workplace. Micro-credentials take less time to earn than a traditional degree and can help you learn new competencies and advance your career.
What is a Digital Badge?
Students who successfully complete a micro-credential will earn a digital badge which they can share on their social media accounts (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, via email or embedded in a website). A badge is a digital representation of a learning outcome, experience or competency.
