FAST & Central CPL Secures 100K to Create Humber’s First C2R2 Micro-Credential

The Canadian Colleges for a Resilient Recovery (C2R2) fund is designed to provide Colleges the opportunity to develop Micro-Credentials (MC) that support employability in the sustainable sector space.

A joint effort between FAST Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) & Central CPL, along with the content expertise of the Advanced Manufacturing Cluster, led by Dr. Shaun Ghafari, resulted in Humber successfully earning it’s first C2R2 grant.

Called Microgrid Application and Control, the program is designed after adult learning principles. The first part of the MC involves a self-directed learning component that learners must first complete. This component ensures the learner is ready to come to Humber’s new Sustainable Microgrid and Renewable Technology (SMART) Lab and practice what they learn in the lab itself.

The first cohort is scheduled to start Fall 2023. This will be the first of many micro-credentials in the Microgrid space. Special thanks to Dr. Kimberly Carter and Sara Marques from CPL Central for their collaboration!
