In addition, during today’s panel discussion on the topic of micro-credentials, Professor Lee explained that micro-credentials and the skills of ‘micro-mastery’ can enhance employability. Integrating these skills into the education system will further support lifelong learning, foster personal and professional growth, and contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.
