Micro-credentials address the most common barriers cited by adult workers who are not intending to undertake further formal training or study: time and cost,” Education Minister Dan Tehan says.

“The micro-credential marketplace will be a platform for job-seekers to see what skills they can gain by further study to help them get a new job or to get ahead in their current job.”
