Microcredential Formats

Aging populations, high economic growth, and demographic trends have plagued the labour market and have made skilled talent hard to find, and professionals in project management are no exception. In 2021, 48% of leaders in project management who responded to a PMI survey said that learning and development was a high priority issue for their organization (Pulse of the Profession 2021 (2021)). With workforce planning, talent acquisition and talent retention scoring closely in importance.
The talent shortage is an ongoing issue for most sectors in Canada. Coupled with rapidly shifting technological advances and mass resignations, the time is now to start exploring all solutions. Microcredentials serve as a highly viable solution for employers wanting to reskill their existing workforce and/or upskill those looking to enter the workforce. Off-the-shelf microcredentialing options are not always suitable for a specialized skill or specific sector, and TALENT™ has accepted this challenge and made it our mission to provide custom options to sectors experiencing talent shortages. It’s time to increase the ‘trickle’ of talent entering the pipeline to a ‘flood’ and microcredentials are a key tool in achieving this.
