If careers no longer follow a single path, should credentials?

As industries evolve and careers become less linear, learners increasingly need ways to build new skills throughout their working lives. Governments and employers are responding by pushing for more flexible, modular forms of education – and universities are increasingly adopting micro-credentials and stackable learning pathways.

But turning short-form learning into something meaningful and scalable is not straightforward. How should micro-credentials connect to degrees? How can they be recognised by employers? And how can institutions govern them at scale without fragmenting academic provision?

This webinar explores how universities around the world are beginning to answer those questions, and how micro-credentials are emerging as a bridge between higher education, workforce needs, and lifelong learning.
