Empowering Career Success: Building Strategic Campus Partnerships for Micro-Credentialing at TCU"AbstractIn today's rapidly evolving job market, students must possess a diverse set of skills to succeed in their future careers. As institutions of higher education, it is our responsibility to ensure that students are equipped with the necessary skills to thrive in the professional world. One innovative way to do this is through micro-credentialing, which allows students to earn verified credentials in specific skill areas.Micro-credentials are short, focused learning experiences that validate and certify students' proficiency in specific skills. Unlike traditional degrees, which encompass a broad body of knowledge, micro-credentials are designed to cater to the specific skills and knowledge required by employers in various industries. By offering micro-credentials, institutions can tailor their programs to meet the evolving demands of the job market and provide students with tangible evidence of their competence.This conference proposal presents an opportunity for higher education professionals to come together and discuss the importance of building strong campus partnerships to support student career skill development through micro-credentialing at Texas Christian University (TCU). Through collaboration between Athletics, Career Services, Human Resources, Office of the Chancelor, Office of Financial Aid, Office of the Registrar, Neeley Professional Development, and Student Affairs, TCU can establish a comprehensive and impactful approach to micro-credentialing that enhances the learning experience for our students and prepares them for the challenges of the 21st-century job market.
