Iowa State University is offering a new, shortened version of learning. It’s roughly a year into the program and popularity is growing on campus. The university is offering micro-credential courses that are geared toward obtaining short learning experiences that focus on career skills as well as soft, transferable skills for both students and career professionals. The program was officially launched October 2024, but has only been growing. It currently offers around 80 courses and nearly 600 people have already completed a course in the past year. Right now, it is geared more toward Iowa State undergraduate and graduate students. The university does currently offer some micro-credentials for people already in the workforce who want to add more experience or get expanded opportunities. These credentials are also for people looking for a career change and need new experiences.
