Indian employers see micro-credentials boost hiring
Micro-credentials, those short, focused courses that teach job-ready skills, are changing how companies hire.
The report found that 81% of Indian employers think candidates with these credentials get hired faster than those without (that's eight percentage points above the global average).
And almost all believe these hires perform better in their first year.
It's a sign that skill-based learning is becoming a big deal for landing jobs and getting ahead.
