Micro-Credentials: How Universities and Employers Can Build Skills Together

Activity: Talk or presentationPresentation at conference/workshop/seminar

Description

The accelerating transformation of key industries—particularly artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and smart manufacturing—has exacerbated the disconnect between academic preparation and workplace requirements. While 87% of employers report skills shortages (ManpowerGroup, 2024), traditional degree structures remain constrained by lengthy accreditation processes and theoretical orientations. This presentation demonstrates how strategically designed micro-credentials—compact, competency-based certifications co-created by universities and corporate partners—offer an agile solution to this growing education-employment chasm.
