🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🚀
Thrilled to share the fantastic collaboration between my former stomping ground, Accenture UK & Ireland, and my new professional home, Dublin City University! 🤝 As I embark on this new chapter with DCU's Micro-Credentials team, it's heartening to witness the strategic leap forward in our longstanding partnership.
The recent Memorandum of Understanding signifies a commitment to deepening collaboration through various initiatives, including joint research, STEM Teacher Internships, WomenOnWalls and more. 🌐
Having spent an incredible 5 years at Accenture Ireland, I've had the privilege of honing my skills and learning from the best in the industry. The shared dedication to university-industry partnership is something I've personally experienced at Accenture, and I am eager to see this commitment flourish in the groundbreaking programs outlined in the MOU.
One of the highlights for me is DCU's innovative approach to Micro-Credentials. In the dynamic landscape of today, these short, industry-engaged, accredited qualifications are a game-changer. They offer a fast and flexible way for anyone to acquire specific knowledge, skills, and competences that respond to societal, personal, cultural, or labor market needs.
DCU has meticulously defined eight characteristics that distinguish their Micro-Credentials, ensuring they meet the highest standards. From proposal and descriptor reviews to school and faculty approvals, the process is anchored in quality assurance. As someone deeply involved in this initiative, I am excited about the positive impact it can have on individuals seeking to upskill in a rapidly evolving world.
To my former Accenture colleagues, this collaboration opens doors to an exciting array of learning opportunities. Micro-credentials can be a perfect fit for professionals looking to enhance their skill sets or explore new areas of expertise. Feel free to reach out to me for more information about how these offerings can benefit you.
Join me in celebrating the intersection of innovation and collaboration! 🎉 I'm genuinely thrilled about this new journey, and I'm here as a resource for anyone interested in the transformative power of Micro-credentials.
