Today, the pressing talent shortage is hitting just about every business and organization in a big way. It’s more than just a matter of sourcing people willing to work; they also have to possess the skills that match up with the role. Research by Robert Half indicates that 95% of executives say it’s somewhat or very challenging to find employees with the appropriate skills and talents—a longstanding impasse that’s come to be known as the “skills gap.”

It’s time to get creative not only with where we source new talent, but how we create it. More and more organizations are rethinking their approach to employee training and development programs capable of upskilling employees and candidates.  

This is where micro-credentials come into play. As an emerging solution to this dilemma, micro-credentials are bite-sized qualifications that demonstrate skills, knowledge and/or experience in a specific subject area or capability.

Micro-credentials tend to be narrower in range and easier to acquire compared to traditional qualifications like degrees. At the same time, they can also be broad in focus. For example, employees can obtain micro-credentials in subjects as wide as data-driven marketing or as narrow as how to empower others in the workplace.
