USM and OpenLearning Global (M) Sdn Bhd have teamed-up to create a micro-credential competency-based learning platform (the first of its kind in Malaysia), that focuses on an individual’s Personal & Professional Development. It enables individuals to earn recognition for skills and competencies that they have learned throughout their careers and their life. The USM Micro-Credential Online Learning Portal will support individual lifelong learner, educators and the workforce in any organisation or industry in acquiring desired competencies that will be aligned to their own needs and priorities. It is designed in such a way to make learning and training to become more flexible, manageable, convenient and more importantly, very affordable.
