Channel: eCampusOntario
Date: 20/03/2023

Industry partnerships are essential for universities to develop micro-credentials that meet the needs of the labour market. While these collaborations offer tremendous opportunities, there are challenges to overcome. Empathy + Social Insight for Human Centred Design and Navigating Production With the Film and Television Industry in Ontario are two popular micro-credentials offered by the School of Continuing Studies at OCAD University. This presentation will explore the process of collaborating with different industry partners in the development and delivery of each of these micro-credentials. Evan will share insights gained from these examples and discuss best practices for academic and industry partnerships.
