More than a degree: How micro-stacked credentials give graduates the competitive edge - BizCommunity

These days, a qualification alone isn’t always enough. Employers are looking for graduates who are ready to contribute from day one with skills that match their workplace demands. This is especially true in South Africa, where youth unemployment remains critically high. As businesses race to digitise, they need talent that can hit the ground running. Micro-credentials have emerged as a solution that gives students the ability to build, stack, and showcase in-demand skills that stand out. Richfield has made this shift a core part of how the institution prepares its students for the future. “Richfield partners with some of the world’s most prestigious technology leaders. Our curriculum combines formal qualifications with embedded micro-credentials, coding bootcamps and hackathons. This approach equips students with both academic depth and practical, industry-relevant skills,” says Dr S, Executive Dean: Faculty of IT & Research at Richfield.
