The micro-credential courses will allow previously excluded Ontarians to re-train or upskill to find new employment while getting support from the government if needed.

According to the government's release, the programs will also be short in duration and available to be completed online.

"By supporting these micro-credential programs our government is transforming Ontario's postsecondary education sector and opening the window of opportunity to those who are looking to develop a new set of skills quickly," Ross Romano, minister of colleges and universities, said.
