Cedefop is inviting employees, employers, students (young and adults) and individuals not currently employed to take part in a survey about the added value of microcredentials.
The role of microcredentials in facilitating learning for employment is a major study commissioned by Cedefop. Its aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the role played by microcredentials in supporting labour-market-related and employment-relevant education, training and learning. The project findings will offer new knowledge on the characteristics of microcredentials, their added value to individual learners and employees, as well as their impact on existing qualifications and recognition systems.
A key focus of the study is to understand the relevance of microcredentials for the individual learner and the conditions that need to be met for them to support learners in navigating their careers through life and across different areas of education and employment. Capturing the voice of individual holders as well as education or labour market receivers is important.
To this end, four surveys (addressed to different target groups) are being conducted. Respondents are invited to complete a short questionnaire to record their experiences and perceptions of microcredentials’ role in supporting lifelong and life-wide learning. The surveys are available in 8 languages (English, Dutch, Finnish, German, French, Polish, Spanish and Slovenian).
Cedefop supports the distribution of the questionnaires and encourages individuals to respond to obtain a wide cross-section of views.
Please take this opportunity to give your views:
- Added value of microcredentials: questionnaire for employees
- Added value of microcredentials: questionnaire for students and adult learners
- Added value of microcredentials: questionnaire for individuals who are currently not employed
- Added value of microcredentials: questionnaire for employers
The survey will remain open until 15 January 2023 but please submit your responses as soon as possible.
