Construct and ABET Launch Partnership to Drive Sustainable Innovation through Microcredentials

Construct Education and ABET have partnered to develop an innovative micro-credential program focused on sustainable development goals in STEM. This 8-week, self-paced course is designed to empower workforce professionals and students with practical sustainability skills, the knowledge and the opportunity to contribute to a future that is more resilient and fair.

“Sustainability is a critical and evolving priority across STEM industries, with both employers and employees seeking to drive measurable impact through their work,” says Construct Education’s Commercial Director Fred Du Bois. “This partnership and its micro-credential will equip students and STEM professionals with the expertise needed to implement sustainable solutions at scale.”

The ABET Sustainability Microcredential addresses a growing need across academic institutions, corporations, and government organizations to lead in sustainable practices. This seamlessly integrates sustainability credentials into existing STEM education opportunities and training courses, fostering purpose-driven learning with real-world applications. It offers an affordable approach to innovation in STEM education while enhancing career readiness and skills development through sustainability-focused preparation.

Featuring innovative AI support through Amara, a didactic AI assistant that provides guided learning experiences, the course emphasizes actionable skills and practical tools to drive sustainability initiatives, whether in workforce development or academic settings.
