We work together with industry leaders to design and develop Surge Micro-credentials. This partnership ensures our programs reflect and connect students with real industry skills and demands from today’s top employers.
Investing in the future of learning in our province, the Government of Saskatchewan is a strong Surge Micro-credentials partner. Through funding from a variety of ministries the government is helping learners upskill, reskill and formalize skills. This will provide employers with the workforce needed to power Saskatchewan’s economy.
