Keynote speakers announced for Micro-certification Forum 2020

eCampusOntario is thrilled to announce three keynote speakers for the Micro-certification Forum, taking place on February 21, 2020:

• Kathleen DeLaski, Founder and President, Education Design Lab;
• Anne-Marie Fannon, Director of the Professional Development Program at the University of Waterloo;
• Kerri Moreno, Client Manager Higher Education, IBM.

Each keynote will bring a unique perspective from their sector, addressing both opportunities and challenges ahead for building a nimble skills recognition system that evolves alongside the changing needs of Ontario’s workforce and society.

For the remainder of the event, attendees will learn from post-secondary institutions and industry partners as they describe their experience identifying gaps in the workforce and leveraging micro-certification to address those challenges. Fourteen college and university pilot project teams will present their work executing micro-certification projects to fill gaps in human skills, technology skills, health and human services, manufacturing and natural resources.
