JIBC, ULethbridge launch micro-credentials

The Justice Institute of British Columbia and the University of Lethbridge have recently launched new micro-credentials. JIBC has created new cybersecurity training opportunities in the form of three micro-credential programs: Basics of Defending Against Cybercrime, Essentials of Investigating Cybercrime, and Malware Detection & Protection Basics. The programs will help students and working professionals to acquire critical insight into cybercrime and malware and the impact these attacks have on the workplace. At ULethbridge, the Department of New Media has launched a micro-credential focused on New Media that is comprised of five modules. Learners will receive badges of recognition for completing the module, and a Foundations of New Media Certificate of professional development if they complete all five modules.
