Micro-Credentials

$300 stipend

includes User Experience Design

CUNY and the NY Jobs CEO Council are offering 8 Micro-Credentials to help CUNY undergraduate students build in-demand skills: Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Finance, Marketing, Project Management, Software Engineering, Systems Administration, and User Experience Design.

Micro-Credentials are 100-hour online intensives certifying that a student has mastered specific skills or competencies in an area directly associated with a high-demand job. Micro-Credentials are directly shaped by experts from New York’s biggest employers, ensuring that students learn the skills needed to land jobs and internships at those companies.

Successful completers receive a $300 stipend and a suite of ongoing professional benefits including an EverUp LinkedIn badge that can help them stand out to NY Jobs CEO Council companies.
