This Insights Paper is part of a wider feasibility study considering the development of a framework for the recognition of micro-credentials in industry. It follows and builds upon an initial study undertaken by Skillnet Ireland in 2018/2019, which explored the potential of digital badging as a form of micro-credentials in the agri-food sector. Five Skillnet Networks in collaboration with the National Institute for Digital Learning in Dublin City University are carrying out further research to investigate the opportunity and potential of micro-credentials in the wider workforce and to consider international developments and trends in this space.
