In today's fast-changing job market, traditional degrees alone are no longer enough. Many companies still rely on outdated recognition systems that overlook the full scope of an employee’s knowledge and skills — especially those acquired outside formal education. This gap results in untapped talent, limited career mobility, and missed opportunities for organizations.
Digital credentials, including microcredentials and digital certificates, are transforming how companies validate, showcase, and leverage talent. These verifiable, portable, and secure credentials recognize real skills — no matter where or how they were learned.
🌍 Benefits of Digital Credentials for Your Organization
