Developing MCs for specific audiences/RPL: Wednesday, 8 November

CAPLA

This webinar will examine how MCs can serve the needs of a variety of groups, such as employers, employees, learners, and job seekers, etc.

Presenter 1: Alena Shah, EdD, Humber CollegeD﻿escription: Micro-credentials at Humber College: Planning with the end goal in mindThis brief presentation will provide an overview of how Humber College has intentionally developed an internal micro-credential framework to ensure alignment with target audiences. First, the presentation will outline Humber’s micro-credential definition, highlighting key terminology tailored to be responsive to various learners. We will then explore the key design principles that are promoted when creating a micro-credential that assists with facilitating RPL. Lastly, we will explore potential uses for micro-credentials for creating learner mobility.Presenter 2: Val Thomas, Employment and Social Development CanadaD﻿escription: Breaking Barriers with the IT Apprenticeship for Indigenous Peoples Digital CredentialDiscover how the Government of Canada is advancing reconciliation with its innovative IT Apprenticeship Program, for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. This ground-breaking initiative removes traditional barriers to employment by recognizing passion and potential, and lived experience rather than formal education. Join us to learn about the innovative digital credential strategy and how it is unlocking career growth and mobility for Indigenous talent in the government of Canada and beyond. See first hand, how this initiative is transforming the federal workforce and contributing to a more equitable digital future.Presenter 3: Don Presant, President, Learning AgentsD﻿escription: Finding recognition in micro-credentialsMicro-credentials and digital badges have huge potential for authentic recognition and for connecting learners to new opportunities in a rapidly changing world, but much of that potential remains untapped. Many technology limitations are being addressed, but underlying issues related to culture and change management are still largely unaddressed, such as lack of awareness, problematic preconceptions, traditional habits and organizational silos. Micro-credentials are often described as digital training certificates and &quot;diploma building blocks&quot;, but they can do SO MUCH MORE to help fulfill CAPLA&#x27;s mission of &quot;removing barriers to recognition, regardless of the end uses of the recognition process.&quot;Join Don Presant, international consultant for badges and micro-credentials and longtime CAPLA member, for a wide-ranging critique of recognition in micro-credentials today, along with some glimpses of what’s possible and what’s even starting to happen - across Canada and in global practice.
