Registration is Open for the 2020 Micro-Certification Forum!

February 21, 2020
Toronto Reference Library, Toronto, Ontario

The Micro-certification Forum 2020, hosted by eCampusOntario, connects academia, industry, and community to explore alternative recognition of learning for the workforce and post-secondary education.

Micro-certifications represent a new possibility in learning recognition: one that differs from traditional credentials, such as degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Micro-certifications are short, verifiable and have immediate relevance to the job market. Come to this event to learn from leaders in academia, community and industry committed to the evolution of learning recognition.
