Abstract
Traditional post-secondary education models are designed for students looking to enter the skilled labour market rather than up-skilling or re-skilling the existing labour market. Micro-credentials, which are short-duration courses available outside of credited degree programs, are a promising mechanism for post-secondary institutions to engage in these continuing education opportunities. In this paper, we present a micro-credential program that is complementary to the existing engineering degree program while also relevant and accessible to industry. The program contributes to a larger micro-credential movement within the province of British Columbia and provides a model for other institutions looking to enter and collaborate within the micro-credential ecosystem.
