“Many organizations are heading toward microlearning,“ says So-Young Kang, Founder and CEO of Gnowbe. According to one of the largest leaders in society that shapes global, regional and industry agendas, The World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020, projected future jobs will have a high demand for soft skills like creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, life skills, communication and more. “50 percent of employees will need reskilling by 2025, as adoption of technology increases.” These jobs include roles in the rapidly growing creator economy.

Gnowbe is delighted to earmark $10 million in scholarships for everyone to become certified in high-demand, future digital skills for creators – Microlearning Instructional Design (MID). Each scholarship will entitle someone to earn a certification on the principles of instructional design and learn how to apply that in a microlearning format for blended or asynchronous learning experiences. This new capability will empower anyone to design more engaging and effective, multimedia learning experiences for their audiences and clients. Each recipient will be asked to ‘pay-it-forward’ by equipping others on Microlearning Instructional Design (MID) skills and techniques.

The scholarships are available until the funds are exhausted. To apply, applicants should register their interest here.
