The FIU Career Ready Micro-Certificate is designed to prepare students with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century workforce. The Micro-Certificate shows employers that students are not only academically prepared, but that they are also Career Ready through a series of Micro-Credentials designed to supplement their curriculum.
The FIU Career Ready Micro-Certificate teaches students essential power skills, also known as soft skills, which are valuable across all disciplines. These skills enable students to document and acquire competencies within and beyond their curriculum, ensuring they are well-prepared for their careers. The micro-certificate is offered free of charge to all enrolled students and designed with flexibility, allowing students to complete it alongside their academic degree program.
Students can apply to the FIU Career Ready Micro-Certificate through an online application. The Office of Micro-Credentials will process the student application and enroll an eligible student into the FIU Career Ready Micro-Certificate in Canvas. Students will maintain enrollment until they either complete the micro-certificate or they are no longer an active student at FIU. Students will receive credit for any micro-credentials they have completed already.
Upon verification of your completion of requirements, the office will provide instructions for your final reflection. Your FIU Career Ready Micro-Certificate will be issued to your FIU email within 48-72 business hours after submission of the final reflection and verification of all documents.
It is recommended that a student completes one badge at a time, but multiple micro-credentials may be earned in the same semester.
