Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS) Executive Director Nazlin Hirji interviewed with the Toronto Star recently to discuss the importance of Micro-Credentials in terms of quick upskilling, reskilling, and career advancement options. From the article:

“Micro-credentials offer immediate career value to enable people to get a job, keep a job or seek advancement within their chosen field. They also provide digital skills, which now more than ever are a critical capacity valued by employers.”
