AI Micro-Credential Helps Working Professionals Boost Career Options

From agriculture to health care, manufacturing to retail and banking, artificial intelligence is transforming the economy and giving businesses a competitive edge by helping them improve the products and services they deliver to customers.

And now working professionals can gain their own competitive edge by adding an artificial intelligence (AI) micro-credential through the University of Florida’s Office of Professional and Workplace Development. This is the first micro-credential to be offered at UF, joining eight online or hybrid certificate programs.

Micro-credentials have emerged as an ideal way for working professionals to become proficient in a specific area through short, non-credit courses that culminate in a competency-based badge. Earning a micro-credential helps fill knowledge gaps, especially for those in the workforce who have limited time and cannot commit to a semester or longer of learning.

The AI micro-credential program allows participants to learn skills they can leverage for career advancements, from a new job to a raise, new title or additional responsibilities and status with a current employer.
