MICROVERSITY: MICRO-CREDENTIALS FOR CAREER TRANSFORMATION

CAREER PATHWAYS

We have mapped various career pathways as per the current & future job scenario and industry requirement of skill combinations. Each career pathway aligns with the learning map suggesting relevant certifications & credit modules. Users can map their development plan for different career choices. Employed professionals can change their career path by mapping the change route and skills required.

Each course develops a specific skill aligned with industry requirements. A combination of such courses reflects a competency that is valued by the industry and can be used to change career path mid-way or move up the same career path at a rapid pace. For example a student of Computer Science can add courses from Drones applications to target a specific industry for a career change or a Mechanical engineering student can get certified on Drone design, thermal imaging and computer vision to switch career to the rapidly advancing field of Drones.

CAREER PATHWAYS & COURSES

MICROVERSITY CERTIFICATIONS

Microversity certifications add tremendous value to a CV and make you a competent professional for handling technology driven complex tasks.

Getting directly certified on a single platform is costly and limits learning to what that platform offers. To overcome this drawback, we focus on functional skills and use platforms/software of prominent companies to train users and demonstrate how different companies' platforms can be used to develop operational skills. Thus, users get to know multiple platforms/solutions adopted by industry to perform specific functional tasks.

The certifications are application oriented and help fill a major void in university curriculums and help employed professionals to bridge skill gaps with rapidly changing technology.

STRUCTURE OF MICRO-CREDIT CERTIFICATION COURSE

Each credit corresponds to 15 hours of engagement divided into theory & practical sessions as per the requirement of the topic. The practical sessions include field/internet-based project, practice on a software/app with dummy/real data or a short assignment in a company accessible to the user as per his/her location.

Evaluation of your learning will be through continuous assessment followed by a final assessment that could be a mini-project, quiz, short answer questions or a short online viva by an independent assessor/industry expert.

Clearing a certification requires continuous engagement with the learning module and rigorous practice unlike other companies which rely on MCQ to assess, and which students clear easily. Our certifications are valued by industry for the rigor, depth and application oriented learning and because we have aligned the courses as a group/module to develop the competency required for a specific function.

As the learning is structured in a number of capsules/units, there is a short assessment at the end and you are expected to clear before you proceed to next learning capsule. There is no time limit on completion and you can focus on real learning rather than getting a certificate.

The user is also suggested additional certifications that can be taken to broaden the skillset and increase the value along the career pathway.

Once you complete the certification/group of courses, your CV will be shared with interested companies for any open position or for a future hiring plan. We also suggest job profiles which can be targeted after getting certified in the group /module.

LEARNING DELIVERY FRAMEWORK

LEARNING COMPOSITION

Considering the time constraints of an employed professional and pressure of regular coursework on a student in a university, we have designed a very flexible & multi-modal learning capsule comprising of self study videos, manuals, process flow charts, application methods etc, The learning delivery is structured in stages for easy learning & assimilation.

1. AWARENESS MODULES

The first learning capsule is structured to create awareness about the various developments in technology & digital interfaces that impact the business function/industry process. The awareness modules lay a wider foundation on which relevant knowledge & skill matrix is developed.

2. FOUNDATION MODULES

The foundation modules develop the basic knowledge about the end-use case and its related business process/function. The foundation capsules develop insights into the structure, process, data requirement, data structures, output and other industry applications.

3. INTRODUCTION TO APPLICATIONS

The next learning stage develops knowledge about different applications covering the same business function as the application in which certification is sought. This helps develop a broad understanding about various competitive products and the context in which each performs best. The comparative performance and structures enable students & professionals to develop a deep understanding about the integrative effect of digital technologies on business functions.

4. APPLICATION MODULE

The core module of certification covers in-depth the structure, applications, outcome, value add, configuration & customisation process, simulations of industry application, project case studies, application case studies, industry sectors adopting the application, certification requirements & process, mock assessment etc.

5. INDUSTRY INTEGRATION OF APPLICATION

This module provides an in-depth study of the industry integration of the application, giving input data requirements under various contexts, the requirement of additional hardware & bridging software, impact of AI apps and other digital interventions.

6. ABOUT CONNECTED MODULES

The last module before appearing for the final assessment for certification covers details about the connected apps which help in decision support and increase process efficiency.
