and administrators seeking to optimize professional development initiatives in similarcontexts.Planning, Implementation and EvaluationThe components essential to the project management cycle are evaluation, planning, andimplementation. Of these, planning and implementation are predominantly interdependent. As thephase responsible for the highest percentage of project failures, planning is the preliminary, mostcrucial, and most strategic of the three ("planning") stages. The assertion was substantiated in 2008by the [19], which declared that a considerably greater likelihood of success exists for asufficiently planned project instead of an inadequately planned one. Effective planning does notguarantee the success of a project in isolation

survey was conducted under an IRB that canvased industriesin the state. The survey sought to identify specific training deficiencies important to industry.They were asked about what micro-credentials they value, and what training gaps they wouldlike to address. From that information a first course was created specifically targeted to theworking population based on partner feedback. The course is online and asynchronous, with aseries of modules that include learning materials such as text, slides, and videos. Since this is afunded project, the course is offered at no cost to the participants. The first course is in projectmanagement, as that subject was seen as one of the most in need of addressing by the partners,with the first cohort currently

Additionally, during the first two semesters, the curriculum incorporates aninnovative excursions component that provides students with breadth in computing by readingand discussing CS research papers, participating in hands-on activities with core computingtools, and engaging with guest speakers in the field. The final semester serves as an off-rampfrom the iCAN program. The coursework includes a capstone experience (or individual study)and a graduate-level CS elective. Capstone projects can be research experience, a softwaredevelopment project, or an internship. iCAN students are paired with faculty mentors for thecapstone project. Overall, we have had 20

Key competencies for lifelong learning include self-reflection and self-regulation whichenable learners to identify areas for improvement and take deliberate actions for improvement[16]. Self-directed learning, characterized by individuals taking the initiative to assess their owneducational needs, set objectives, and evaluate outcomes, is also an important element of lifelonglearning [17]. Strategies such as self-reflection, self-regulation, and proactive learning empowerindividuals to take control of their growth. Froehle et al [18] highlight the significance ofexperiential learning
