Micro-Credentials at FNTI
FNTI’s micro-credentials are rooted in culture and are developed as rapid training opportunities that can help individuals gain skills or retrain.
Our goal is to help our communities prosper through knowledge, service, and employment.
FNTI's micro-credentials are organized into bundles, each with a specific focus.
Each individual micro-credential takes 15 hours to complete and are facilitated by Instructors, Cultural Advisors, and Student Success Facilitators. The successful completion of a micro-credential will be recognized with a unique digital badge. Learners who complete three (3) micro-credentials within a single bundle are eligible to receive a Certificate of Recognition.

Indigenous worldviews are defined by complex relationships between people, their lands, and the gifts that are given to them by regional teachings.
