micro-credential forum 2024: bridging skills gaps, building futures

Micro-credential Forum 2025: Call for Proposals Now Open!

Since 2017, eCampusOntario has brought together colleagues and changemakers in higher education, industry, and government to showcase the impacts of micro-credentials across the province and beyond.

On February 27-28, 2025, at the Toronto Reference Library, our 8th annual Micro-credential Forum, Bridging Skills Gaps, Building Futures, will explore how postsecondary institutions, industry partners, and eCampusOntario are working together to solve skills shortages and mismatches – equipping learners and businesses with the tools and talent they need to thrive.

We are seeking session proposals from Ontario’s publicly funded colleges, universities, and Indigenous Institutes that offer insights on one or more of the following tracks: 

  • Productivity Partners: How are micro-credentials alleviating skills shortages and strengthening key sectors of the economy to support Canadian productivity?
  • Career Catalysts: How are upskilling and reskilling initiatives enabling career advancement and transition at every stage of life?
  • Enrolment Energizers: How are institutions reaching new audiences to market, sustain, and scale their rapid training programs?
  • Instructional Innovators: How are instructors incorporating innovative pedagogical practices and future skills needs into their micro-credential programs to help learners navigate societal transformations?

If you would like to submit a proposal for a presentation, workshop, or panel discussion at Micro-credential Forum 2025, please complete this form by Friday, November 15, 2024.

If you have questions about the theme, submitting a proposal, or about the event more generally, please email micro@ecampusontario.ca.
