As IR4.0 continues to change the way we work with technology, more adults are in danger of losing their jobs in the coming years. But the good news is, rapid digital acceleration has also changed the education sphere. Today, more working adults are reskilling and upskilling themselves with certification courses, post-graduate programs, and microcredentials to keep their jobs and remain in-demand. We speak to Professor Dr Pradeep Nair, Deputy Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer at Taylor’s University, as he discusses MicroCreds and how their credits are stackable towards a formal award, as well as their place in the future of modern working culture.
