The digital era has managed to reshape our understanding of traditional education and employment. Getting a degree is no longer a guarantee for future employment. Moreover, obtaining a BA from a traditional university can be very expensive and can leave certain gaps in students’ skill sets. As a result, a rising number of professionals turn to micro-credentials in order to broaden their skillsets. These micro-credentials are chunks of education that people may receive from online courses, online learning platforms like Coursera or Udemy, and other sources. Some people think that in the future it would be possible to stack these credentials in place of a BA. They believe that this way they can develop skills that university training failed to do so. In an ever-changing society, it is important for people to continue developing their professional skill sets, especially in developing countries.
