Micro-credentials are a new, alternative type of credential that certifies your demonstrated knowledge of a specific learned skill to employers. Micro-credentials are personalized to your learning needs, and they’re sharable through email, digital resumes and portfolios, signature taglines, websites, and social media, such as LinkedIn. Micro-credentials are customized building blocks for professional growth and development that provide skills to enable you to grow and advance throughout your career. You choose the skills and knowledge you believe will increase your value in the workplace. Micro-credentials are flexible, portable, and stackable. Take classes on your time, take the digital badge with you, and stack classes to earn a more comprehensive list of skills and knowledge.
