Microcredentials, Microlearning and Canada's Skill Agenda
75% of Canadian employers say they can’t find employees with the skills they need for available jobs. Despite high levels of youth employment, there are still some 50,000+ jobs each month that remained unfilled.

Microlearning, competency-based learning and microcredentials could be effective responses to this challenge.

This webinar will explore the potential of micro-learning and microcredentials linked to competencies as a way forward.

Key Takeaways


By taking part in this webinar, you will be able to explore:
• What the skills challenge really is, and the six skills gaps we need to close
• What microlearning looks like and why it may be helpful if linked to competency assessments and learning profiles
• Where microcredentials could fit into a skills development system
• The MOOC providers and firms that are offering their own products and services in the skills space
• What the future may look like for competency-based hiring, assessment and gap-based learning
