Barty, Grame, Boyer, Naomi, Chrysikos, Alexandros, Griffith, Margo, House, Kevin, Laughlin, Taura, Ossiannilsson, Ebba, Ward, Rupert and Zanville, Holly (2022) Developing a more granular and equitable approach to the learner-earner journey: the role of badging, micro-credentials and 21st Century Skills within higher education to enable future workforce development. In: Global Future Skills project. Springer Nature. (In Press)
This chapter introduces trends within the global skills economy and explores how our learner-earner journeys can best align to these trends. It starts with a discussion of future global workforce skills requirements from higher education courses and discusses emerging future skills. It then considers how schools can align with higher education and workforce requirements through a skills-based approach to delivery and how higher education courses can better align to schools, workforce requirements and other potential outputs. The chapter then explores validation models, micro-credentials and alternative credentials, considering alongside this the role of equity within skills-based education and hiring systems. Finally, it concludes with some key policy and process considerations.
