What are Micro-credentials?
These
programs are considered “Micro-credentials," also known as micro-degrees
or nanodegrees, representing concise proficiency showcasing expertise in a
specific domain. They serve as valuable additions to one's credentials,
allowing individuals to bolster their qualifications and present their skills
effectively to employers and peers. Programs that will be offered align with
the current programs offered by WCC. Further, these programs provide stackable
certificates, a dynamic concept in education and professional development, and
empower individuals to acquire various skills, each representing varying levels
of expertise, which can be seamlessly integrated to form a comprehensive and
adaptable credential. These certificates will enable post-graduates to continue
their education, acquire additional skills, or adapt to changing career demands
to stay competitive and excel in their chosen fields.

Under the SCALE program, any course
finished earns a Certificate and two units of micro-credential. This certificate evidences the skill or
competency acquired by the learner. It
can be considered a stand-alone certificate with a credit on its own as a micro-credential. The learner can pursue further competencies
through continuous enrollment in these courses.
These courses can be stackable to either (1) a Diploma Program or (2) a
Degree Program under the related discipline.
To earn a Diploma, the student must enroll in courses along the pathway
for 20 units. These achieved units can
also be credited to either a college degree or a master’s degree program. Upon evaluation, any diploma earned can also
be credited to equivalent units either in College or Post-Graduate degree.
