STLC stands for Short-Term Learning and Certification. In this method, short-term, certified courses are provided that are quick, flexible, and cost-effective ways to gain specific skills, contrasting with longer, traditional degree programs.
E.g. Harvard University's short courses in leadership and data science, MIT's short-term programs through MIT Professional Education, and online platforms like Coursera and Udemy offering a wide range of subjects from business to programming, often in partnership with universities.
