As micro-credentials proliferate in Canada but urgently need improved conceptualisation, standardisation and transparency, a pan-Canadian framework for micro-credentials has been proposed in a new report produced for the Canadian Standards Association – a non-profit, non-governmental standardisation organisation with a national mandate. In the report, Activating the Full Potential of Micro-credentials in Canada, researchers Iain Wilson, Janet Balfour, Sarah Tracy and Alex Usher of Toronto-based Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA) highlight the global topicality of micro-credentials, and acknowledge their potential for rapid upskilling and reskilling, as well as retraining “in the face of a labour market that values mobility and rapid adaptation to changing skills needs”.
