The development of human resources capable of promoting digital transformation and green transformation is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and creating innovation. In this social context, COVID-19 has accelerated the digital transformation efforts of society and higher education institutions. Micro-credentials are attracting attention as a means of lifelong learning through flexible learning methods and certification of learning outcomes. Based on an international survey of frameworks of micro-credential, we propose an initiative for quality assurance and international mutual recognition of micro-credentials. Furthermore, the micro-credential design and implementation were shown at the Japanese Society for Engineering Education, and the prospects for international industry-academia collaboration in education and the use of micro-credentials were presented.
