Retail seen as frontrunner in flexible credential growth

Original: Why retail is positioned to win the flexible credential opportunity

Retail Dive reports that the retail sector is well placed to lead in the growing market for flexible credentials, such as short courses and skills-based certifications. The argument is that retailers' large frontline workforces and constant need for upskilling make them natural adopters of quicker, job-focused alternatives to traditional degrees. Commentators following workforce training say employers are increasingly looking for practical credentialing options.

Why now: Growing employer interest in skills-based hiring and alternative credentials has put workforce training models under the spotlight.
