Session
This talk introduces a strategic approach for organizations to explore open-source tools in the creation and management of learning pathways that align with microcredential frameworks. Targeted at administrators, HR professionals, and organizational leaders, the initiative supports Continuing Professional Development (CPD) by enabling the design of modular, verifiable learning experiences that contribute to recognized digital skill credentials. The approach supports strategic competence supply planning, internal mobility, and measurable progress tracking.
