Micro credentials could stave off software engineer layoffs - Stephanie Glen, TechTarget

Software developers can take measures to protect their jobs with micro credentials tailored to their company’s needs within hot trends such as cloud computing and AI. Developers can take steps to shield themselves from layoffs by earning micro credentials that target the latest trends in application development, according to industry experts. The job market for developers has swung from red hot to cool in the last few months, with many tech companies implementing hiring freezes. One way developers can ride out the recession is to stay up to date with the latest programming languages and tools. A relatively quick way to do so is to earn a micro credential, a certification that focuses on a specific competency or skill, such as Agile development, UX design or cloud computing, as opposed to a full degree program.
