The Ontario government is spending $5 million through the Micro-credentials Challenge Fund to bring post-secondary institutions and industry together to build or expand rapid training programs for priority job sectors like health care and advanced manufacturing. This is the second round of Ontario Micro-credentials Challenge Fund. “The Micro-credentials Challenge Fund brings industry and institutions together to create programs that strengthen Ontario’s workforce and economy,” said Colleges and Universities Minister Jill Dunlop in a news release. “Micro-credentials reflect current and local labour market needs and immediately prepare students for industry-relevant opportunities in their region.”
