New Initiatives: CRISP and Industry-Endorsed Microcredentials
At this session, we will share exciting updates about our new Collaborative Regional Innovation Skills Project (CRISP) as part of the National Jobs Priority. This initiative focuses on developing industry-endorsed, transferable, and stackable microcredentials that equip our youth with the skills they need for the future. In partnership with industry leaders, these microcredentials are designed to provide practical and relevant skills that are highly valued in the workforce and we are looking for young people to be part of this pilot.
Empowering Young Female Founders
We are also dedicated to creating opportunities for young female founders. Our projects aim to support and empower regional young women to become successful entrepreneurs, providing them with the skills, resources, and networks they need to thrive in the business world. This includes targeted initiatives and mentorship programs to ensure they have the support necessary to turn their innovative ideas into reality.
