The project
OnTheMIC project addresses the current requirement for easy-to-use methods and tools for both adult learners in need of support such as migrants, disabled people, long term unemployed, people without formal secondary level education or otherwise in a vulnerable situation, and specifically in the labour market, as well as employers and educational or training staff, working with adult learners.
Objectives
Since the learners’ population is becoming more diverse and the learning needs, including up-skilling and re-skilling, more dynamic, the project aspires
- to develop easy-to-use, user-friendly tools for adult learners to assess their own skills and competencies gained through prior learning in formal, informal, and non-formal settings, identify the emerging needs and to find ways to up-skill and re-skill their competences to meet the needs of the labour market, enhancing and strengthening, in this way, the possibilities for employment.
- to offer to learners the opportunity to gain micro-credentials on their skills and competencies by creating tools to realize more flexible and inclusive learning paths through recognition of prior learning. Innovative instruments like micro-credentials can facilitate flexible learning pathways and support learners to get employed or during professional transitions.
