Policy Experimentation – Micro-credentials

Closed

Code: 31821 | Identifier Code: ERASMUS-EDU-2024-POL-EXP-MICRO-CRED | Programme name: 2918 | Start submission calls: 05/12/2023 | End submission calls: 04/06/2024

The objective of Topic 5 is to support reforms and policy impact in Member States and/or third countries associated to the Programme in the implementation of the Council Recommendation of 16 June 2022 on a European approach to micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability.

Micro-credentials are the record of the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a small volume of learning. Micro-credentials make it possible for individuals to acquire knowledge, skills and competences in a flexible and targeted way. They can be instrumental in upskilling and reskilling of learners, including disadvantaged  vulnerable groups, so that they can adapt to a fast-changing labour market. Micro-credentials do not replace, however, traditional qualifications.

The above-mentioned Council Recommendation sets out three building blocks:

• a common definition for micro-credentials,
• standard elements for consistent description of micro credentials, and
• principles for design, issuance and use of micro credentials.

To deliver on the full potential of micro-credentials, Member States are recommended to create an enabling ecosystem composed of various providers of micro-credentials, relevant public authorities, as well as national qualifications frameworks and quality assurance mechanisms. Providers of micro-credentials’ cover education and training institutions and organisations, including higher education institutions, Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions, social partners (i.e. organisations representing workers and employers), employers and industry, civil society organisations, public employment services (PES), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and regional and national authorities, and other types of actors designing, delivering and issuing micro-credentials for formal, non formal and informal learning. There are also already several research projects carried out on micro-credentials to be considered for the purposes of this topic.
