By Paige McDonough and Kim Oppelt, Ed.D.

Recorded on November 7, 2024

Given the rapid speed of change in career advising, it is important for career practitioners to continue to upskill. Micro-credentials are an effective method to update targeted skills. These bite-sized certifications provide focused learning opportunities tailored to specific skills and competencies, allowing individuals to customize their educational journey according to their career aspirations and industry demands. Join us to explore the structure of a micro-credential, how long it takes to get one, and how can it be useful to a practitioner, along with understanding how to identify and select the most useful micro-credentials.
