Illustration of a badge outline with the UT System logo at the top, and the text over a ribbon "Microcredential Innovator"

With funding from the Strada Education Foundation’s Beyond Completion Challenge grant, the Office of Academic Affairs collaborated with Skyepack, an elearning company to create a 4-week online primer course on microcredentials. This course was developed to help prepare faculty and staff find new ways to embed industry-recognized microcredentials within academic courses and experiences to help UT students be better prepared for the world of work. 

The course will shift to a self-paced course and any UT faculty or staff member from will be able to begin the course starting in Fall 2023. Please use this link to register for the course
