Europe’s Sustainability & Green agendas are providing opportunities for companies to grow where they invest in technologies, digitisation, materials, and skills to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiencies. To meet the needs of green jobs and industry 4.0 the workforce will need to expand and have higher levels of skills. To achieve this, education and training providers will need to develop upskilling/reskilling programmes that are flexible, offer recognition, provide career pathways. It is estimated that 128 million adults in the EU28 could benefit from upskilling and reskilling opportunities, of which 60 million are low-skilled and at risk of skills obsolescence and unemployment. Thus, it is necessary to invest in new skills development but also, to address social inclusion and equality to underpin provision of training and education. MiCred Green Pathways will provide a micro-credential green skills framework informed by experts from industry, education and training, which can facilitate adults to reskill/upskill within a lifelong learning paradigm to improve employment opportunities. The project consortium which include partners from industry, universities, adult education, VET, and agencies will provide a multilevel perspective to co-create the micro-credential framework, platform, teaching and learning resources to support low skilled adults gain recognised credits for upskilling/reskilling.MiCred project will carry out a comparative analysis of adult education policy in the six consortium countries (Sweden, Ireland, Bulgaria, Spain, Macedonia, Latvia) and research the emerging green skills to inform the development of learning outcomes for the micro-credential framework and platform at EQF Level 4. The project will pilot and test results to develop training material for teachers/trainers to use with low skilled adults. Providing a recognised award for participants and link to pathways for progression and career advancement.
