By pairing microcredentials with digital credentials, individuals are prepared for a changing workforce and can make a big impact in three key ways. Digital credentials provide a common language of knowledge, skills, and abilities for the emerging workforce. Employers use them to help talent management verify, quantify, and understand the skills and competencies of both candidate pools and current employees. Think of microcredentials as the “what” and digital credentials as the “how.” Microcredentials represent what is being learned. Digital credentials are how a student makes use of what is being learned.
