How can a micro-credential benefit Oklahomans?
Employers and recruiters are looking for applicants who can demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world settings. In fact, nearly all employers in a Hart Research survey (95%) indicated they gave hiring preference to college graduates with beyond-major skills that will enable them to contribute to innovation in the workplace.
Employers agree that having both field-specific knowledge and skills and a broad range of skills and knowledge is the most important combination for long-term success. Micro-credentials quickly establish that you have marketable skills, competencies and experiences.

Creating a StudentAid.gov Account
Completing the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is the first step in applying for federal and state financial aid to help cover educational expenses. To access and sign the FAFSA, students and parents will create a StudentAid.gov Account. We encourage current high school seniors to set up their accounts NOW!
This username and password will serve as your electronic signature on the FAFSA. Students and parents will use the same account username and password every year to access and complete the FAFSA. The StudentAid.gov Account Worksheet (also in Spanish) guides students and parents through the account creation process and offers users a way to save their login credentials. The Creating a StudentAid.gov Account PowerPoint takes students and parents through the creation process step by step.
Parents without a Social Security number are also required to create a StudentAid.gov account to access and sign their studentâs FAFSA. Check out the Creating a StudentAid.gov Account Without a Social Security Number PowerPoint for more information.
