Employers can use micro-credential qualifications to help fill skills gaps in the workforce by hiring new, qualified personnel, or quickly upskilling current employees.
Employers and industry groups can take an active role in the development of micro-credential programming by forming partnerships with post-secondary institutions and discussing specific labour market needs.
Saskatchewan's Guide to Micro-credentials provides more detailed information on how micro-credentials impact and benefit employers and industry groups.
Employers may be eligible for funding to support their employee training initiatives under the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant.
