The UNDP Micro-credentials for the Tourism Sector project for Kiribati has been deemed a success by the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC), the organisation tasked to implement the project across the Pacific.
Two online courses, Digital Literacy Essentials, and Communication Technologies for Business Success were included in this project and initially targeted 40 participants. Due to overwhelming interest from across Kiribati, the project increased availability to 100 participants, and 65 participants successfully complete the courses.
APTC Innovations Team Specialist Advisor, Susan Bateup stated “whilst the project concluded on 31 Match 2020, the Micro-credentials will continue to be available for anyone from Kiribati to Register online via the APTC website – https://aptc.edu.au/courses/micro-credentials – and will be supported by the MyVillage eLearning support team”.
The APTC also advised that it is considering additional Micro-credentials to be added to its current collection of Micro-credential short courses and information on this will be shared once available.
The Tourism Authority of Kiribati acknowledged the tremendous support extended to the Kiribati tourism industry by the APTC to assist in building capacity during a challenging time and looks forward to opportunities for tourism training support in the future.
