LinkedIn reports a 150% increase in job postings requesting micro-credentials—short, skill-specific certifications. At Paris American International University (PAIU), we’ve partnered with industry leaders to offer stackable credentials that keep pace with employer demands.
What Are Micro-Credentials?
- Definition: Bite-sized certifications (typically 4-12 weeks) in topics like:
- AI Ethics
- Sustainable Business Practices
- Format: Digital badges verifiable on LinkedIn/LMS.
PAIU’s Innovative Approach
1. “Mix-and-Match” Degrees
Combine micro-credentials into full qualifications (e.g., 5 badges = elective credit).
2. Corporate-Aligned Programs
- Example: Google Cloud Certified + PAIU’s Data Analytics badge.
3. Lifetime Updating
Alumni can add new credentials as industries evolve.
