Micro-credentials have been used in the education setting for many years. Adult learners have taken micro-credential courses to improve their skills to perform their jobs successfully. The federal technology transfer professional has limited professional development opportunities to perform their jobs better. This dissertation study examined the development and evaluation of technology transfer training through micro-credentials. The results of this study concluded that, although government agencies conduct technology transfer differently, the Federal Laboratory Consortium can provide micro-credentials needed as a foundation in the form of career pathways. Surveys given to the participants revealed that they were drawn to the interactive components of the course. The study results were aligned to previous studies on adult learning, and we must take into consideration the time adults have to learn in relation to their current work obligations.
