Abstract: The report analyzes the significance of micro-credentials in enhancing students' digital skills. As shortterm training programs, micro-credentials provide specific knowledge and skills, which are especially valuable for the quick adaptation of learners to the labor market. They offer a convenient form of online learning, enabling students to acquire new competencies in their free time. Their main advantages are flexibility, accessibility, and focus on specific professional needs, making them effective for career development. The report addresses key issues related to the application of micro-credentials for developing learners' knowledge, skills, and competencies.
