   "International Recognition and Collaboration on
     Micro-credentials"
   Masahiro Inoue, PhD, PEJp, PMP (Keio University,
     Specially Appointed Professor, Founder
     JV-Campus/JMOOC Micro-credential WG, Japan)

   Abstract - To develop human resources who can respond to
   rapid changes in industrial structures and promote digital
   transformation (DX) and green transformation (GX), learning
   must continue beyond the knowledge acquired in the
   university. There is a need for reskilling to acquire knowledge
   and skills in different fields and upskilling to enhance
   competence in one’s area of expertise. Micro-credentials have
   attracted attention in many countries as complementary
   education to master’s and bachelor’s degree programs, in
   which students acquire skills in a specific study area in a
   relatively short period with certified results. Flexible teaching
   methods, such as online or blended teaching, are employed.
   Micro-credentials comprise an educational system, which
   assures the quality of education, and information technology,
   which allows learners to securely store and share their learning
   history. To design Micro-credentials, share them locally and
   internationally, and implement their operation with digital data,
   the roles of educational systems and information technology,
   as well as their interdependencies, must be well defined.
   International recognition and collaboration on Micro-credentials
   are important to promote the use of human resources in the
   Asia-Pacific region.

   Abstract: As Japan's population ages and birthrate declines,
   young people are migrating to urban areas for work, leaving
   rural communities struggling to sustain themselves. The
   Population Strategy Council identified 744 municipalities

   prevent further decline, this report proposes increasing
   the "connected person" to boost the number of people staying
   in these areas and to revitalize them. Nanto City in Toyama
   Prefecture, a municipality at risk of disappearing, was
   selected for research in this report.
