Micro-credentials are professional development:

• At your own pace
• At your most convenient time
• In your area of interest

Micro-credentialing is a way of demonstrating mastery of a very specific skill. Micro-credential awards can enhance immediate work needs or future career pathways. They are beneficial to degree holders who want to enhance their resumes as well as those seeking professional opportunities through alternative entryways.

The micro-credentialing process includes:

1. Selecting a topic of interest
2. Completing the tasks required by an entity offering micro-credentials on that topic
3. Submitting evidence of one’s work

When someone successfully completes micro-credential requirements, they earn a digital badge, which can be included in resumes, portfolios, and digital files.

Stackable micro-credentials are multiple, consecutive badges, which enable individuals to expand their expertise in particular areas.
