Earning a degree, completing a professional training program, and testing for licensure are all ways today’s professionals earn the credentials they need for a successful career. With more employers demanding AI skills, microcredentials in AI might be one way for colleges to engage new students and to better prepare them for the work force.

Microcredentials can be earned individually online through short courses, through employer training programs, and now even on some college campuses. But these microcredentials are mightier than what a short course can teach. They may even reduce the number of remaining credits students need to earn degrees.

Join us for a virtual forum on Tuesday, June 17 at 2 p.m. ET to learn about several AI microcredential programs and discover ideas that may benefit your business, students, and even yourself.

We’ll explore how:

  • AI microcredentials can benefit workers in all industries.
  • Students can stack these credentials on top of work experience.
  • Employers and colleges alike can impact the work force by introducing new microcredential programs.
