Center for Alternative Pathway Programs launches new micro-credential courses

The Center for Alternative Pathway Programs (CAPP) recently launched four new micro-credential courses, which are available to Saint Leo University employees at a 10 percent discount. The new courses include Introduction to Engaging Communities in Social Justice Action, Animal Interventions, Canine Good Citizen Training, and Navigating Intercultural Communication.

These online, self-paced courses make it affordable and convenient to learn new skills. They can also be completed in as little as 30 days. After finishing the micro-credential courses, learners receive a digital badge to validate their new competency.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to check out the Center for Alternative Pathway Programs course catalog for more information and follow the center’s page on Facebook (facebook.com/SaintLeoCAPP) to stay informed about the latest courses available.
