Welcome to "Micro-credentials in a Minute," produced by Micro-credential Multiverse.

In this episode of "Micro-credential in a Minute," your hosts, Rob Bajor and Katie Sievers (Credly by Pearson), are diving into the world of micro-credentials and the various flavors they come in. They'll help you understand the different types of credentials and what they're used for, without any judgment about which one is better.

From credit-bearing and co-curricular activities in higher education to membership and contribution recognition by associations, and from internal learning and development opportunities to professional experiences like internships and apprenticeships in the business world, there's a credential for everyone.

And it's not just about measuring proficiency through formal assessments. Some credentials recognize an earner's experience or disposition, making it easier for learners to showcase their unique strengths and stand out from the crowd.

So, join your hosts and learn all about the different "flavors" of micro-credentials and how they can help you and your organization succeed in your personal and professional development endeavors.
