Microcredentials in vocational education and training (VET)
Microcredentials hold promise for connecting people’s skillsets with labour market demands in a rapidly changing world of work.
Various publications by CEDEFOP help to understand the opportunities offered by microcredentials.
The briefing note on (January 2024) explains why more flexible learning pathways and valid credentials are needed.
The working paper on (July 2024) helps to foster critical discussions and dialogue on the broader purposes of microcredentials.
The ongoing project offers new knowledge on the characteristics of microcredentials, their added value to individual learners and employees, and their impact on existing qualifications and recognition systems.
