From Insight into Diversity: “According to a report by the World Economic Forum, 50% of employees will need reskilling by 2025 due to automation and new technologies. Companies are increasingly interested in personnel who proactively acquire new skills and adapt to industry changes…’The future of higher education is shifting toward more accessible, career-aligned learning opportunities,’ said Sean Gallagher, executive director of the Northeastern University Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy. ‘Stackable credentials provide a pathway for lifelong education without requiring students to commit to a full degree from the outset.’ While traditional degrees remain valuable, stackable credentials offer a new level of flexibility that is proving essential in today’s workforce.”
