Micro-credentials for Trent Community Members

There are three reasons that you should be interested in Micro-credentials:

  1. They provide short focused training.
  2. They provide an opportunity to develop skills and demonstrate them to employers and further educational institutions.
  3. They enable companies to develop their staff to meet the demands of their business.

Micro-credentials provide an opportunity to demonstrate the learning and skills that student have, and that employers and further educational institutions are looking for.

They are designed to be short and focused on specific topics to deliver the skills that the student needs in a timely manner.
