Every year, a significant number of individuals clear graduate and post-graduate degrees. However, the growing competition and increased demand for specific skills have limited the employment opportunities for such individuals. Alternative credentials help students acquire specific skills and stand out from the crowd and maintain continuous career readiness. These credentials also help recruiters verify achievements and check the suitability of candidates. This is beneficial to both candidates and organizations in addressing recruitment-related issues. These factors are fueling the growth of the global alternative credentials market.

Alternative Credentials Market for Higher Education: Availability of Open Educational Resources
Many massive open online courses (MOOCs) providers in the market are offering alternative credentials such as verified certificates, digital badges, course sequences, eTranscripts, and digital portfolios to students. This trend is increasingly becoming popular among students, as employers are increasingly tracking both formal and informal education. Several schools and universities are also introducing open educational resources by partnering with online platforms such as Coursera Inc. and Pearson Plc. For instance, the University of Illinois, along with Coursera Inc., offers iMBA and an unbundled master's degree in computer science. The increasing availability of such open educational resources is allowing learners to avail of advanced levels of alternative credential course certification by paying a nominal fee. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global alternative credentials market.
"The inefficiency of traditional degree programs and the high cost of several degree programs will further boost market growth during the forecast period", says a senior analyst at Technavio.
