| As APEC economies recover from COVID-19 they face increased demand for skills in areas such as ICT, technology, financial services and health. Micro-credential courses offer a means to rapidly deliver training that addresses skill needs and promotes lifelong learning. They are short and targeted training products which provide a more flexible approach to learning than traditional forms of education. The project aims to build capability in APEC economies for those interested in delivering online micro-credentials to support skills development. Australia proposes to host a series of three virtual workshops on how to design, develop and deliver online micro-credentials in higher education, including collating and exchanging best practices in APEC economies. |
