Skills for now and the future
The World Economic Forum estimates that 39% of existing skill sets will be transformed or outdated by 2030. People understand that they need to regularly acquire new skills and knowledge to stay relevant or change to a new career area, but they can be anxious about returning to learning. Micro-credentials offer a great entry point back into education and help people to engage in and enjoy lifelong learning.
