Recognition of qualifications

The project will provide a better understanding of the role played by micro-credentials in supporting labour-market-related and employment-relevant education, training and learning. The project findings will offer new knowledge on the characteristics of micro-credentials, their added value to individual learners and employees, as well as their impact on existing qualifications and recognition systems.

The project will conduct an in-depth comparison of the profile and content of VET programmes and their resulting qualifications to support mutual learning between countries and allow stakeholders to evaluate their individual priorities and choices.

The overall aim of the project is to expand protection and solution opportunities through complementary pathways of admission to Europe and legal intra-EU mobility. For this purpose, the project will design a VET, skills and qualifications supported complementary pathway mechanism; such a mechanism takes from the beginning VET, skills and qualifications into account as a way to support legal mobility of refugees and has the potential of increasing labour market integration possibilities in the medium to long run.
