Issuing the Lab’s 21st Century Skills Micro-credentials requires the completion of our facilitator training. It is a self-paced, online learning experience, approximately 4-6 hours in duration. It is a community experience with facilitators-in-training (i.e., colleagues) around the world. This training addresses many of the common questions associated with the Lab’s micro-credentials and provides a consistent approach to their implementation.

- Apply 21st century skills in a scenario or context related to your field of work

- Attach evidence to an individual’s micro-credential(s) in the platform of your choice
