ADRIAN — Siena Heights University has announced the launch of two options for adult learners: micro-credentials and professional development. The purpose of these offerings is to meet key employment needs and further career opportunities in the greater Lenawee area and beyond with accessible and affordable education. 

Using a fully online platform, adults can complete short-term credential and certificate programs. This can help people accomplish a career change, achieve a promotion, or simply continue being competitive in their field. 

The demand for workers in IT, healthcare, and data science is especially strong, the university stated in a news release.

“We’re excited to get students of any age ready for the 21st-century career landscape,” said Gina Rossetti, provost and vice president of academic affairs. “These learning opportunities are offered at a time and pace that meets the needs of their busy lives.”
