University of Arkansas at Fort Smith hosts testing for biotechnology micro-credentials, certified evaluator training - Thomas Saccente, NW Arkansas Democrat Gazette

The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith hosted an outside nonprofit group last week to test people for a new kind of credential designed to help them compete and stand out in the job market. The university worked with the Kansas-based Bioscience Core Skills Institute to provide assessments for people to receive digital "micro-credentials" in five areas in the biotechnology field Wednesday. Those who passed the assessments could also undergo additional training Thursday to become a certified evaluator, allowing them to test other people to see if they qualify for their own micro-credentials from the institute.
