What are microcredentials?
Microcredentials are groups of three to five courses that can be taken as a standalone program or can eventually be stacked to earn a degree or certificate. They are designed to help you quickly develop relevant skills to prepare for entry-level employment or per-diem work, and can help those currently employed gain additional training to advance their career.
MVCC’s microcredentials can help you bridge the gap between college and a career,
giving you a competitive edge before completing a degree program.
MVCC also has partnered with digital credentialing platform Parchment by Instructure, which empowers the College to officially recognize you for demonstrable competencies and skills.
