Future-Ready: Digital Skill Building and the Rise of the Alkek One Micro-Credentialing Program
Description:

Join us for a presentation on the Alkek One micro-credentialing program, a pioneering initiative at Texas State University launched in partnership with the LBJ STEM Institute under the NASA MUREP grant. Since its inception, the program has awarded over 450 micro-credentials, representing approximately 3,600 hours of completely voluntary, informal student learning focused on high-demand digital skills. In this session, the program's founder, Dr. Andrew Rechnitz, will discuss the genesis of the program and share best practices for ongoing engagement with students, faculty and staff.
