Big news for B.C. tech learners... and anyone looking to upskill in this ever-evolving industry!

SFU School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT) has launched a new micro-credential program, developed in partnership with DigiBC.

The courses kick off in Fall 2025, offering stackable credentials in Human-Centred AI and Creative Technology.

Students earn digital badges for every completed course, and those badges can be combined and applied toward a certificate, or even a bachelor’s degree if desired.

The micro-credentials are:
✔️ Short, skill-focused courses
✔️ Flexible learning for working professionals
✔️ Taught by industry experts collaborating with Microsoft, Google & more

DigiBC is pleased to announce plans to pilot a new, sector-wide mentoring network for the creative technology community! We aim to launch this program, DigiConnect, in May 2025 and we are actively seeking volunteer mentors.

🚀 If you are an industry professional in BC with 4+ years of experience in VFX, animation, video games or XR, we encourage you to participate as a mentor in the program.

🎓 DigiConnect is an exciting addition to DigiBC’s Work Placement Pilot Program. Mentee eligibility is currently restricted to students in work placements; however, DigiBC aims to expand the program in future years to offer mentorship to junior and mid-level professionals.

💡DigiConnect will facilitate opportunities to build meaningful relationships, fostering professional connections that can lead to career opportunities and collaborations across the sector in an organic fashion. Building a strong professional network in the industry through mentorship is key to making BC a global leader in creative tech.
