Supporting your learner audience by prepaying for their micro-credentials.
We can help you cover the cost of the micro-credentials that your learners want to earn by providing prepaid assessment fees and coupon codes. Coupons may be applied to all micro-credentials or select ones depending on your organization’s needs.
Helping your organization build knowledge about how to leverage micro-credentials toward your goals.
We can help you discover the world of micro-credentials for your organization and partners, through workshops for learners, educators, micro-credential designers, organizational leadership, and other stakeholders.
Workshops are typically delivered virtually but can be delivered in person depending on staff availability.
Introduction to Micro-credentials
In this 90-minute professional learning workshop, participants will be introduced to MCs, including the process of earning and sharing awards. The workshop will cover the micro-credential structure, value, and how learners will demonstrate their knowledge and skills to earn them.
Micro-credentials in the Curriculum
In this 90-minute workshop for program leaders, we provide participants with the time and space to collaborate on creating implementation plans in small groups, so they are confident integrating micro-credentials into their respective programs. They will also develop an understanding of how to connect MCs to existing program material and uncover opportunities for new program modules that are supported by MCs.
Request a Customized Workshop
Digital Promise staff will facilitate an interactive session with your learning community to support specific organizational needs. Our team will collaborate with you to determine the learning objectives, format, and content. Our team can fully deliver the workshop or collaborate with your teams to co-deliver the workshop.
Previous custom workshops have supported micro-credential design thinking, industry skill identification, micro-credential implementation, and learner engagement.
Supporting you to pilot and gather data about how to best launch and scale micro-credentials for your organization.
We can summarize micro-credential data to help you make decisions based on the specific goals and needs of the organization. Many organizations use this to evaluate and scale their programs and gain valuable insights into their learning communities. Others use this time to support research goals connected with grant-funded micro-credentialing programs.
An estimate of hours will be provided upon an initial discussion to determine the scope of work. The standard suite of services for a pilot includes up to 50 participants:
We also offer consultation services for RFPs, research proposals, and other contract services that support multi-organization collaborations. Contact us to learn how our expertise can support your next project, grant, or research proposal.
