Microlearning Strategy in ICT Education

The purpose of this paper is to clarify how young people in developing countries can achieve their ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills and get a job. This study focused on the system that covers from their ICT skill learning to job matching. In many countries and regions, there is still a noticeable lack of ICT educators as well as little demand for ICT engineers. Additionally, e-learning often requires significant tuition fees. Studying a one-off course will not lead directly to a job. On the other hand, when taking a comprehensive courseware course, the content is too overwhelming to start a career. Given this background, the following are desirable environments in ICT education. First, it is effective to break down the skills into smaller parts that match the needs of companies thusly supporting microlearning for both companies and young people. The next step is to map the skills that have been already achieved by layering the smaller parts, and then match applicants with job openings. The accuracy of skill improvement records will be ensured by blockchain. This will enable a system that allows for anonymous verification and search of each. Based on this strategy, it is expected that young people in developing countries will be able to acquire skills efficiently and quickly and be able to participate in the global software development sector.
