Description
Elevate Your Institution’s Relevance, Workforce Competencies & Learner Expectations
Micro-credentials are no longer just an experiment—they’re a powerful tool to meet learner needs, respond to workforce demands and expand institutional impact. Yet, many colleges and universities still struggle to align micro-credential initiatives with broader strategic goals, often lacking infrastructure, policies, and cross-departmental coordination needed to support implementation. Administrators may ask: How do we scale? How do we align with institutional strategy? How do we prove value to students and employers?
Join as our expert presenter provides you with answers to those questions and more. She will help you to move beyond theory and one-off initiatives to gain the insights, tools, and frameworks you need to make micro-credentials a sustainable and integrated part of your institution’s academic portfolio.

You’ll leave with actionable strategies to transform micro-credentials from isolated aspirations into sustainable, mission-driven programs that elevate your institution’s relevance, workforce competencies, and evolving learner expectations.
