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! 📅 Date: May 26th, 2023⏰ Time: 9:30 am-1:00 pm ADT📍 Location: Halifax Central Library (BMO Community Room); 5440 Spring Garden Road, Halifax NS B3J 1E9🍽️ Lunch and refreshments are on us! If you’ll be attending, please let us know of any dietary restrictions that we should be aware of. -------------------------------- <h3>Event Details:</h3>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. -------------------------------- We know your time is limited, so you are welcome to attend the entire event, or just pop in for the sessions of greatest interest/that best suit your schedule. Alternatively, if you would like to refer someone else from your organization to attend in your place, please feel free to do so.If you (or a colleague) will be joining us, register by May 19th! -------------------------------- We respectfully acknowledge that Halifax is located on Mi’kmaw territory, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
