Learning On Demand: Developing a Micro-credentials Framework

Halifax Central Library (BMO Community Room); 5440 Spring Garden Road, Halifax NS B3J 1E9 5440 Spring Garden Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Are you leveraging micro-credentials when assessing job candidates or developing existing talent? Interested in frameworks that increase trust in micro-credential courses? ICTC invites you to participate in an in-person roundtable discussion on May 26th in Halifax! Event Details: Lifelong learning is increasingly viewed as a “must” vs. a “nice-to-have” in today’s digital economy, and micro-credentials are one way for learners to beef up their skills and competencies. However, the sheer volume of options and different standards associated with the micro-credential ecosystem makes it challenging for learners to confidently select training pathways that will give them the skills employers seek. To address this challenge, ICTC is leading research that is part of a multi-sector initiative to define, develop, and validate a micro-credential framework. On May 26th, ICTC is bringing together a group of Halifax’s digital economy leaders to share their perspectives on micro-credentials, including how they can be designed and deployed to address real-life labour market needs. Agenda 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM Registration and refreshments 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Small group discussion: labour market needs and micro-credential value-add 11:00 AM - 11:15 AM Refreshment break 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM Small group discussion: designing and deploying micro-credentials 12:15 PM - 1:00 PM Event wrap-up and networking We know your […]
