College of the Rockies is preparing to launch two new sustainability-focused micro-credentials as part of Colleges and Institutes Canada’s Upskilling for the Innovation Economy initiative.
The micro-credential in Solar PV Systems and Installation prepares tradespeople to install solar photovoltaic systems and includes six weeks of hands-on learning. The 60-hour Greenhouse Practices micro-credential provides learners with the skills necessary to work in greenhouses.
As the programs are part of the Upskilling for the Innovation Economy, eligible students will be able to access discounted tuition for the programs. Both programs begin in January.
