Goals for participation

University already offers extensive non-credit, retraining, and upskilling industry microcredentials. Now moving into non-credit to credit pathways, and will expand into microcredentials for high school students and alternative pathway micro-credentials.  Have committed to adding essential human, power, and soft skills to our microcredentialing framework.
