Both concepts support the idea that education should be a continuous process, adaptable and aligned with the emerging needs of society and the labor market. The mission of this chapter is to understand how micro- credentials can help teachers sculpt their profile and train skills to help students on their learning path while promoting their well- being, as well as providing students with micro- credentials that enable them to develop knowledge and skills in specific areas and attitudes and values.engMicro-credentialsHigher educationLearning compassOECDSkills and competenciesResearch Subject Categories::SOCIAL SCIENCESbook part10.4018/979-8-3693-5488-9.ch015
