  3. Skill-Specific Focus: Each micro-credential hones in on a specific area of expertise, ensuring learners gain actionable knowledge and relevant skills.
  4. Pathway to Certification: Micro-credentials are often part of a larger collection, allowing learners to progress toward a comprehensive certification.
  5. Appeal to Employers: Micro-credentials signal to employers that a learner possesses in-demand skills and is committed to continuous learning.
