MICROCREDENTIALS
Alternative Learning Pathways
In addition to providing food and climate resilience, our greenhouses will also serve as hubs for career and technical training and education. We have partnered with leaders in postsecondary education to develop a program of microcredential courses so that workers in rural and tribal lands can gain demonstrable skills and know-how. People who earn microcredentials can then be matched with skill-based employment opportunities.
