About the Career-Ready Microcredential

The UT Tyler Career-Ready Microcredential prepares students with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st-century workforce. Based on the seven career readiness competencies as defined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the Career-Ready Microcredential teaches students soft skills that employers across disciplines value, including competencies in Career- & Self-Development, Communication, Critical Thinking, Leadership, Professionalism, Teamwork and Technology.

After completing the Career-Ready Microcredential, students will demonstrate the ability to apply skills in real-world settings, verify competencies beyond the transcript and resume, and improve marketability.
