Filling the gap between curricula and workplace skills in Asia with microcredentials -Times Higher Education

Microcredentials can assist graduates and working professionals to meet changing industry demands, but more needs to be done to fill the gap between curricula and in-demand skills. In a webinar held by Times Higher Education in partnership with Coursera, an expert panel centred its discussion on microcredentials, how they can be integrated into university curricula and what needs to improve to fill the skills gap in Asia. The integration of microcredentials into curricula is essential to assist graduates in meeting industry demands. “Especially in the case of microcredentials, which are highly related to industry, the university can collaborate with businesses to come up with some great courses where input from industry is used to help design the curriculum,” said Ewe Hong Tat, president of the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman.
