This microcredential will teach you how to minimize your environmental impact through sustainable practices. Additionally, you’ll explore food sovereignty, learning how it enables communities to produce higher-quality food, increase the value of their crops, and make local decisions that positively impact both people and the environment.

The microcredential is specifically designed to train Indigenous producers in Northern Saskatchewan. The design and delivery will support, acknowledge, and respect the learners’ needs and time. To meet the needs of students, the online course has been designed to be user friendly, highly engaging, and interactive. Producers from all areas of Canada will benefit from taking the course.

What role do you and the construction industry play in climate change? This course introduces the science of climate change, specifically its effects on the natural and built environments. Key concepts like carbon emissions, energy efficiency for new and existing structures, and lifecycle carbon will be explored. Students will examine considerations for all phases of construction – from purchasing to installation – to help reduce climate impacts. The intended audience are those currently working in the construction industry although there is no required prior learning or work experience to attend this course. Participants in the Climate Literacy for Construction microcredential will be expected to complete two modules to obtain competencies related to the evaluation, mitigation, and adaptation of climate change in the construction trades.

This microcredential introduces the main sources of GHG emissions in cropping systems (tillage, nutrient management and pest management) and will assist learners in identifying cropland management practices to reduce GHG emissions and sequester carbon. Based on current research and best practices, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for their crops operation that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration.  

​​​By the end of this training, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for a crop production operation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration.     

Note: Successful completion of the Climate Smart Agriculture Fundamentals microcredential is a pre-requisite for this microcredential. 

Data management and analysis are key in allowing the agriculture sector to facilitate change when transitioning to a low carbon economy and meeting net zero targets. Using farm level data to support decisions will ensure farmers and farm workers are positioned to make decisions to optimize yields and outputs for their specific situation. Digitization of agriculture data is a key factor for the sector going forward and how that data is used and interpreted will affect productivity, competitiveness, profitability, traceability and application of inputs. 

This microcredential introduces the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture and will assist learners in identifying farm management practices to reduce GHG emissions and sequester carbon through alternatives to fossil fuels, land management and water management. Based on current research and best practices, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for their farm operations that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration.  

Note: Successful completion of the Climate Smart Agriculture Fundamentals microcredential is a pre-requisite for our Cropping Systems and Livestock Systems Climate Smart microcredentials.

Based on current research and best practices, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for their livestock operation that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration. 

This microcredential will equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to support agricultural professionals in adopting economically sustainable practices that also reduce their carbon footprint. 

Informed by the latest research and best practices, participants will select agrologist-led practices and technologies that are not only economically sustainable but also environmentally conscious. These transformative strategies will enable agrologists to guide their clients and stakeholders towards a greener, more resilient, and economically viable agricultural future.

The land that farmers and agriculture workers use to produce food and crops often comes into close contact with waterways and other areas that are under the stewardship of watershed management associations. When agriculture workers and watershed managers collaborate, they can contribute to improving ecosystems.   

This microcredential will introduce watershed managers to the value and impact of collaboration between watershed management and workers and stakeholders in the agriculture sector. It will focus on the ecology of watersheds and how they interact with agro-ecosystems and will cover topics such as: soil and water conservation practices, sustainable land use management practices, crop management, and nutrient and pest management. 

This course will provide students with the tools and knowledge to effectively collaborate with agriculture for watershed management. 

Learners will examine the relationship between watersheds and agriculture, and explore topics such as crop management, soil erosion, precision agriculture, fertilizer applications, pest management, and protecting natural assets from a collaborative lens. Learners will identify opportunities for growth and design a strategy for both sectors to work together toward a more resilient agro-ecosystem. 

Designed to equip current manufacturing employees and job-seekers looking to upskill with the ability to source manufacturing data, how to work with it and to ultimately create reports for improved operational efficiency in manufacturing organizations.

The Diesel Exhaust Emissions Reduction Systems microcredential covers the latest technologies employed in light and heavy-duty emission reduction systems and is developed for diesel and heavy-equipment technicians, as well as for related Trades to diagnose and repair after treatment systems. Participants will begin with a brief review of emission reduction theory and the tiers of emission control and then will examine the operation, control strategies, and diagnostic procedures for diesel after treatment systems. Participants will then apply this knowledge to diagnose and repair Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems, as well as Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) systems. 

The Digital Process Automation microcredential will prepare you to bring digital automation to your workplace. This microcredential will introduce you to the tools and techniques used to automate many office-related tasks, with a particular focus on document digitalization and optical character recognition. The skills that you develop in these intensive workshops will enable you to automate basic workplace tasks and become more efficient. 

This microcredential will be particularly useful to those who are new to programming concepts and are looking for a results-based curriculum to increase their productivity in the workplace. 

Precision farming includes using technology to see and collect data on soil, crop growth and crop production is a potential way to increase crop yields. This microcredential explores the types of drones used in agricultural applications and discusses topics such as drone imaging to assist field analysis. There are eight microcredentials within the Precision Farming series and they can be taken in any order or on their own.

Flexibility in our offerings and innovation in our approach is considered essential to demonstrate our continued commitment to student success. The ideal learner will be looking to adopt sustainable farming practices and already be employed in the farming industry, either as an employee or owner.  It is expected that the learner will have at least basic digital skills.
