Overview

Provocation paper demonstrates that micro-credentials should prioritize on-the-job training in engineering education, suggesting that conventional degree alignment overlooks employer needs.

Key Points

  • Aligning micro-credentials strictly with formal qualifications overlooks employer requirements, perpetuating the perceived divide regarding graduate work-readiness.
  • Conceptual analysis of engineering education illustrates that micro-credentials should capture informal learning and duration of learning activities directly in the workplace.
  • Reframing modular certification around employability rather than standardized academic outcomes supports greater portability and recognition of on-the-job competence.
