📰 Staying agile key to keeping Ireland at the cutting edge "Not everyone needs an expert in AI but you need people who have an awareness of AI and are familiar with the concept, and micro-credentials provide that short, sharp burst of focused learning.” - Dr Emma Francis According to the IDA Ireland the goal over the coming years for many Irish-based manufacturers is to prioritise the adoption of advanced manufacturing to enable them to transition towards more sustainable and circular production processes and value chains. To achieve this goal many companies will have to invest in upskilling their employees to address skills gaps. Recently Dr Emma Francis spoke to the Business Post about the role #microcredentials can play to help meet these emerging changes and trends in the manufacturing sector in Ireland.
