While the desire to learn more is strong, time can be poor, particularly in sectors such as early childhood education and care, where the need for hands-on and hyper focused attention is high. Enter microcredentials. Employees want to learn more, employers want highly skilled people, however there is no way to manufacture more time. More than half of the overall workforce in the UK, for example, recently said their jobs have gotten more intense and demanding with the passing of time, and feedback in the US is similar, with 40 per cent of Americans saying their roles leave them with little time for training and education.
