Each Micro-Credential is completely online and is work at your own pace. A recommended number of hours for each micro-credential is part of the description. The first 75 students to complete a micro-credential will receive a $50 incentive upon proof of completion.
Complete Micro-Credentials in bundles to receive Micro-Qualification (MQ). Users that complete all Micro-Credentials may be eligible for further post-secondary certification in Business or Public Administration.
Applicants most suitable for this type of training are listed here. Does this describe you?
- You may already have some training or education along with your work experience.
- You may or may not be in what you consider to be a leadership role, but you may be looking at an area of more responsibility in the future.
- You are proud of your work and are inspired to learn more for continuous improvement and growth.
- You are also probably busy, so need to work at your own pace in a way that works best for you.
- Your former training may not have been only in business, so you may want to learn more about HR and gain valuable experience on tips and tricks to keep current that can be applied immediately to your current work.
Micro-credentials are being offered in areas that leaders in the municipal sector have said they need.
