A micro-credential<\/a> is a verified credential earned when learners demonstrate their knowledge and skills related to a specific area of study. Micro-credentials are made up of stacked digital badges along a pathway that highlights the skills needed to be successful. There are three levels of badges which are progressively in depth, and once all three are attained, the learner earns a UMS micro-credit. Badges and micro-credits can be shared on LinkedIn and other professional and social media sites. For general information, please contact 207-581-1359, ums.mc@maine.edu<\/a>, or umainecareercenter@maine.edu<\/a>. You can also visit the Career Center at Room 300 Memorial Union to talk to a counselor or follow engagedblackbear on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n
