Student: Micro-credentials

Take the next step in your career discovery and help yourself stand out by earning subject matter micro-credentials. MajorClarity's micro-credentials were built in partnership with leading employers and educational institutions. They are offered to all 9-12th grade students. Whether you want to become more knowledgeable in a specific industry or prepare for an upcoming job or internship, we have a micro-credential for you!
 

Why earn a micro-credential?

  • Provides an opportunity to students in grades 9-12 to explore career paths further and to deepen industry and/or workforce knowledge.
  • Gives you a competitive edge when applying for post-secondary opportunities.

What are competencies?

Within each micro-credential, you will be introduced to specific competencies. A competency is an applicable skill or behavior that contributes to the overall focus of the micro-credential. Each competency has its own section in the course.
