"Micro-professional" is mainly divided into three categories: urgently needed and scarce, application skills, and cross-complex.

College universities should offer multiple types of "micro-professionals" based on actual needs, give priority to the urgently needed and scarce types and applied skills types, give full play to the advantages of "primary school points, high focus, precise courses, interdisciplinary, flexibility" and support students to learn 3-10 courses in the professional course group through online and offline methods to complete their learning tasks.

Colleges and universities should give priority to mobilizing the 2025 graduates to participate and obtain corresponding learning results certificates to help improve employment capabilities and implement their destinations as soon as possible.
