We are committed to empowering our higher education partners in strengthening their role in workforce education in their local economies and committed to our industry partners in working with them to create truly transformational learning products for their workforce. To meet the educational, sociological, and economic changes of the future, higher education and industry must work together to meet the needs of all learners, who are our future. Focus EduSolutions is changing the future of workforce education in America.

Micro-credentials and digital badges are the solutions needed to successfully chronicle students’ skills development and allow employers to understand and trust their technical and soft skills achievements. Micro-credentialing is a non-traditional learning pathway where students gain skill-sets in a specific technical area and receive a credential within a matter of weeks, serving both the student and the industry in a timely and affordable format.

Focus EduSolutions designs credentials with our university and industry partners that provide experiential and application-based learning, with industry-specific standards. We use online simulations, case studies, various technologies, and a variety of assessment methods to ensure skills acquisition.

Micro-credentials help industries to fill skills gaps, contribute to the growth of local economies and have become a tool to up-skill and re-skill the workforce.

Kennesaw State University

Working with Focus EduVation was a real pleasure. They listened to our needs, learned our context quickly, and created videos that were effective and visually appealing. I was in communication with our project manager often, but not too often, and she was quick to make changes at every step of the process, based on my feedback. As a person new to video creation, Focus EduVation made it easy to get great results.

Cleveland State University

FES has been an innovative partner to work with as we conceived of, designed, and launched our smart manufacturing micro-credentials. I found the experience of working with them collaborative and transparent. Their level of expertise and access to subject matter experts inspired confidence that the product created for Cleveland State University would be top notch., and I was not disappointed. The interactive nature of the micro-credential as well as the built-in assessments, and industry-specific lectures ensures employers enrolling its employees for smart manufacturing training know that outcome competencies will be immediately beneficial to the organization. I am so pleased with my first-time working with Vik Aurora and his team, we are already planning another project together.
