Take a stroll in the central business district of Brisbane, Australia, and, if you’re eagle-eyed, you might spy four brightly colored doors, just a few inches tall.
The doors are a unique promotion for Bond University’s new microcredential programs. Microcredentials are flexible, skills-based education programs, which Bond launched in 2020 to respond to workforce needs. The classes give learners opportunities to upskill, switch careers, or gain new credentials, explains Kristy Crockett, Bond’s Microcrendential Marketing Manager.
“These courses literally open doors for people—whether that be for their next promotion, a new career path,” says Crockett.
More universities are offering microcredentials, which give learners flexibility and efficiency, according to September 2021 Universities Australia guidance.
