FGCU - The Power of Micro-Credentials

Micro-credentials at FGCU provide flexible, competency-based programs that signal readiness for careers beyond traditional degrees. The digital badging initiative aims to recognize and signal strengths not directly shown on resumes, helping students become more aware of their valuable skills. FGCU is developing programs in partnership with leading employers to address skill gaps in the workforce, contributing to the success of the regional economy. Micro-credentials are designed to supplement, not replace, college education, providing skills needed for success without compromising the value of a degree.
