A college diploma may no longer be enough to land the best jobs. According to Coursera's latest Micro-Credentials Impact Report 2026, Filipino employers are increasingly prioritizing job-ready skills, with 96% hiring candidates with micro-credentials and nearly 9 in 10 willing to offer higher starting salaries.
