Objectives
Boosting micro-credentials for sustainable sectors
MASTERY is focused on fostering the collaboration between vocational education and industry with the goal of transforming the way training needs are addressed by promoting innovation in the validation of green skills and in the transferability of micro-qualifications.
The MASTERY results will be crucial in steering vocational training systems towards a greener future economy, facilitating the transition of productive systems towards circular economy principles.
The MASTERY project focuses on micro-credentials related to green skills that can meet the demand for the updating and requalification of professional profiles.
The sectors where the processes of definition, development, and transparency of MASTERY micro-credentials for the green transition will be experimented with are Agri-food, Construction, Wood, and Manufacturing through the development of Sustainable Management skills.
What does MASTERY want to achieve?
1
Micro-credentials
To explore the high potential of micro-credentials to accelerate the requalification and updating processes of profiles already active in the labor market and develop courses and certifications for 12 green competencies in micro-credentials.
2
Methodology
To create a methodology for the development of micro-credentials that can meet the joint needs of new business competencies, define standardized processes for micro-credential recognition through a shared path among policymakers, actors in the vocational training system, and the public and private ecosystem.
3
Recommendations
To enhance the capacity of the vocational training system for inter-institutional dialogue, co-designing competencies, knowledge, and the development of training paths in line with the needs of the labor market and individual growth.
