The British Columbia Institute of Technology, St Francis Xavier University, and the University of Regina recently launched new micro-credentials or short courses. BCIT is collaborating with the Thermal Environmental Comfort Association and Home Performance Stakeholder Council to offer a Residential Air to Air Heat Pump Specialist micro-credential program. The program aims to upskill existing tradespeople so they can install heat pumps in residential homes. St Francis Xavier University is partnering with Digital Nova Scotia to provide a Practical AI Utilization Micro-credential program, which will enhance digital skills across the provincial workforce and alleviate fears associated with AI and its adoption. The University of Regina is introducing the Imagineur Program, a free, online course covers key concepts in innovation and entrepreneurship.
