MICRO-CREDENTIALS FOR MAYOR'S INNOVATION CHALLENGE |
|
Did you know that all MIC participants will have the opportunity to earn a micro-credential in innovation and entrepreneurship from Queen’s University? The DDQIC is excited to announce that in partnership with the Mayor’s Innovation Challenge, we will provide micro-credentials for post-secondary students participating in the Challenge. If you’re a student or team of students from Kingston’s major post-secondary institutions with big ideas that would contribute to making Kingston a better place to live, work and play, it’s a win-win!
A micro-credential is a certification of assessed learning associated with a focused set of competencies delivered through a short program. These credentials can verify the learners’ skills, be sent to prospective employers, or be displayed on professional sites.
Students who want to earn a micro-credential while they craft their proposal will be required to complete 20 hours of online innovation skills-training through the Queen’s OnQ learning management system, which is open to all Kingston post-secondary students who are working on a challenge proposal.
To sign up, complete the registration form by January 28th, 2022!
About the Mayor’s Innovation Challenge
The Mayor’s Innovation Challenge calls on individuals or teams of students from Kingston's major post-secondary institutions to develop innovative proposals that contribute to making Kingston a better place to live, work, and play.
Students are invited to develop a 2 to 3-minute video proposal that presents an innovative project that meet the following criteria:
● Can be implemented in the city and contributes to the quality of life of residents; and/or
● Leverages emerging technologies or develops new innovations to enhance the delivery of municipal services
The creators of the top submissions, selected by the Mayor and senior city staff, will be invited to present their proposals at the Mayor's Innovation Challenge Virtual Event on Friday, March 4, 2022, to a panel of leaders with expertise in municipal government, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Find out more at CityofKingston.ca/MIC.
