DEFINITION: One way to accelerate and support learning is with continuous up-skilling. A key component is micro-certification and credentialing, which is best thought of as learning that happens in smaller “chunks” — such as boot-camp training, an online course from a university or other provider, or even an apprenticeship.

When competency in a specific knowledge area or skill is demonstrated, a micro-certification is issued, which can be listed on a resume or displayed as a “badge” or a mastery credit on an online profile.

Over time, individuals can amass portfolios of competencies that characterize their capabilities in a way that is much more relevant to their professional lives than relying solely on academic credentials.

So – Do you ever wish you could acquire specific information or subject matter expertise for your career activities without having to complete a college or university Master’s Degree in Business or finish our entire online Certified Medical Planner™ professional certification and designation program?

DAILY UPDATE: The Markets, Retail Earnings and US Steel

Posted on August 14, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

By Staff Reporters

.Markets: The market’s rally during the first half of the year has fizzled out this summer despite a greater share of companies beating earnings projections than usual, the WSJ reports. For example, UPS, Apple, and PayPal all topped Wall Street expectations…only to watch shares fall after their reports. Investors suggest it’s a “snap back to reality” moment after market euphoria in H1.

  • Retailers take the earnings stage. Walmart, Home Depot, and Target will give us a peek into consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of the US economy. Americans filling up their shopping carts (despite interest rates rising to a 22-year high) is one of the main reasons those recession predictions haven’t materialized yet.
  • US Steel, a symbol of American industrial might in the early 20th century, is considering selling itself.

Did you Know?

Experts estimate that it can cost more than $1 million to recruit and train a replacement for a doctor who leaves the profession because of burnout. But, as no broad calculation of burnout costs exists, Dr. Tait Shanafelt [Mayo Clinic researcher and Stanford Medicine’s first Chief Physician Wellness Officer] said Stanford, Harvard Business School, Mayo Clinic and the American Medical Association (AMA) are further cost estimating the issue. Nevertheless, Shanafelt and other researchers have shown that burnout erodes job performance, increases medical errors, and leads doctors to leave a profession they once loved.
