Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please see the following from the Office of Micro-Credentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to inform you about an opportunity that allows union members to enhance their professional skills through micro-credentials. Micro-credentials are designed to help individuals gain relevant skills highly valued in today\u2019s job market, all within less time to earn than a degree. With diverse offerings spanning various disciplines, you’ll find the perfect micro-credential to propel your career forward and stand out in the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micro-credentials are available to non-degree-seeking learners. A college degree is not necessary to apply, but some micro-credentials may require prerequisites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage you to take advantage of your union tuition benefits, which can be used toward classes to earn a micro-credential. This is a fantastic way to further your education and advance your career without the commitment of a full degree program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about using these benefits and micro-credential opportunities on the Office of Micro-Credentials Non-Degree-Seeking Learners webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
