What are micro-credentials and who is completing them?

Thank you very much for posting this! This is very interesting to me both because I'm a GWU alum and because my institution is interested in expanding into microcredentials.

If you're organization does move forward, I'm thinking badges on Credly, or whatever preferred system, would certainly help enhance credibility and reputation.

When Harper College needed to strengthen the credibility of its Continuing Education program with employers, it turned to digital credentials -- https://resources.credly.com/harper-college-case-study

In my field there are certifications that mean something and certs that really have very little value.  You can do something that's quick and easy - put it on your resume and hang it on the wall but your colleagues know the difference and will smirk a bit if you're making a big deal out of nothing.  Here's a good one
Beck Institute | Home

Here's the one I'm working on now
ASCH | American Society of Clinical Hypnosis

Are these the most popular in your field?

The CBT credential is popular because it's useful.  The Beck Institute has a good reputation and will be recognized nationally/worldwide.  It's neither cheap nor easy to earn.  The ASCH cert is a bit niche.  The organization is top shelf but Hypnosis, in general, carries a lot of preconceived notions that make it less popular.  It's more current to do EMDR.

Nice! Hopefully they give you a Credly badge (or from another provider) and that it helps with any career/job prospects. My understanding is that the badges will help the public start recognizing certificates/credentials more.
