Abstract
Pulse check on discipline degrees for changed status-quo is vital to ensure global futures for International Enrolments (IEs). While employers spend less on training, more in innovating, can IEs manage time spent wisely and profitably (self-sufficiency) via credentials on the learning (micro-credentialing)? Due to limited research on Multidisciplinary, Micro-credentialing (MDMC), communication among stakeholders becomes difficult, no sense of self-sufficiency, and course crossbreed lags and thus diploma initiatives rarely succeed. Hence, MDMC aims to generate industry necessitated, new knowledge hybrids where courses could generate adaptable multidisciplinary links and intersections toward self-sufficiency. We propose a methodology based on multidisciplinary content analysis on rapidly deployable knowledge bases suitable for multi-sector employability: a market survey to identify new knowledge areas. To meet across disciplines, the outcome to be knowledge mapped to identify gaps in skills required for applications. Further discussions of these gaps intend to present knowledge links and intersections among courses. In-depth discourse analysis on self-sufficiency related benefits that could forge robust faulty-industry partnerships will be discussed - to demonstrate fluidity between courses and job sectors. The resulting credentialing model would demonstrate avenues for new knowledge content, a training programme and HE-industry manifesto. This hybrid would comprehensively detail what and how to crossbreed multidisciplinary content to acquire professional currency toward self-sufficiency.
