As part of our robust, on-demand micro-credential ecosystem, we are proud to partner with organizations to provide pathways for personalized learning. These research-backed micro-credentials are digital certifications that verify an individual’s competence in a specific skill or set of skills, regardless of where and how they learned them. As we wrapped up 2019, we launched three public-facing and 15 private micro-credentials from our partners. The ecosystem is growing every day.
