Abstract

The Micro-Credential Quality Management System (QMS) is designed as a dynamic framework to enhance graduate employability, self-learning ability, and innovation capacity in higher education. This study adopts a research and development (R&D) approach to develop, implement, and validate a QMS that ensures micro-credentials align with industry standards, competency-based learning, and labor market demands. The preliminary validation phase tested the QMS in both vocational and academic settings, involving key stakeholders such as educators, students, and industry professionals. The findings confirm that the system effectively bridges the gap between education and industry, ensuring credible, standardized, and globally recognized micro-credentials. The QMS fosters a flexible and competency-driven learning environment, enabling graduates to acquire targeted skills that enhance career growth and workforce readiness. This study highlights the importance of continuous evaluation, industry collaboration, and standardization in optimizing the implementation of micro-credentials. The research contributes to the advancement of quality assurance in micro-credentialing, reinforcing its role as a transformative tool for lifelong learning and professional development.

Abstract

The accelerating pace of digital transformation has reshaped workforce demands, requiring not only technical competence but also adaptability in digital environments. However, a persistent digital skills gap continues to hinder employability and productivity, as many educational frameworks lack structured and standardized digital literacy competencies aligned with industry expectations. To address this, the study employed a research and development approach using the Integrated Interface Model to formulate a digital literacy skill set and corresponding competency standards, which were validated through the RMCS system and focus group discussions with industry and academic experts. The results include eight competency units covering core and elective digital capabilities such as digital tool operation, information evaluation, ethical online communication, cybersecurity, e-commerce management, and digital content creation. This competency framework provides a modular and competency-based foundation to improve workforce adaptability and supports educational alignment with regional and global standards such as ASEAN MRA-TP and UNESCO CBET. The study calls for the adoption of these structured competencies into academic and vocational systems to enhance workforce readiness and future resilience in the digital economy.

Abstract

This research investigates the enhancement of employability for professional self-employed individuals in business management by mapping occupational standards in entrepreneurship within the Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF). The study aims to identify the types of entrepreneurship occupations and their corresponding competencies to bridge the gap between formal education and industry needs. Utilizing a combination of the Mapping Study method and Rapid Assessment Process (RAP), the research collects and analyzes secondary data from national employment databases, industry reports, academic publications, and government documents. The findings reveal a comprehensive occupational matrix detailing the progression from foundational to advanced entrepreneurial roles, each with specific core and elective competencies. These competencies are crucial for roles emphasizing strategic leadership and business development. The study provides a structured approach for developing targeted training programs and vocational education policies that align with industry requirements, ultimately enhancing the employability of self-employed business professionals. Recommendations include aligning training programs with industry needs, enhancing access to certification programs, increasing awareness of occupational standards, incorporating practical experience, and standardizing competency descriptions across regions and institutions.
