Take Your Career to the Next Level with Micro-Credentials from the University of Denver

Mar 12, 2021 | Blog, Return On Investment

In today’s fast-paced job market, gaining the skills you need to be competitive can seem daunting to many people. Industries are rapidly evolving, and practical, on-the-job skills are highly desirable for employers, putting candidates with specific areas of knowledge in high demand.

This is where micro-credentials can advance your career.

Micro-credentials are bite-sized chunks of education that can help you bridge the skills gap created by new technologies and practices. They offer the benefit of industry-specific skills through cutting-edge learning, giving students a one-up on competitors in their chosen field.

Micro-credentials provide professional skills directly connected to job competencies in a condensed period of time. The credits earned through a micro-credential can typically count toward a master’s degree for those who want to continue their education and strengthen their resume, as well.

By pursuing a graduate certificate, you get an education that is straightforward, practical, and most importantly, quick to complete! Graduate certificate programs at the University of Denver through University College can be completed entirely online in as few as six months, providing you with the skills employers are looking for.

If you are ready to explore earning an academic micro-credential that gives you the opportunity to quickly develop a new skillset, then a graduate certificate may be right for you. University College at the University of Denver offers more than 50 different certificates that specialize in a range of industries and areas, as well as non-credit certificates through the Center for Professional Development. Don’t put your career advancement on hold — at the University of Denver’s college of continuing and professional studies, University College, you can also take an entirely online course before you officially apply.
