The potential role of and the interest in credentials that certify the outcomes of these short learning experiences is thus increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this need, the European Commission has launched a public consultation on an initiative to recognise short, targeted learning courses, so-called \u2018micro-credentials\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/better-regulation\/have-your-say\/initiatives\/12858-Micro-credentials\/public-consultation\">online consultation<\/a> is open until July 13 and aims&nbsp;to collect ideas for the recognition of short, targeted learning courses \u2013 micro-credentials &#8211; and for the development of EU standards ensuring their quality and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;initiative will thus&nbsp;substantially improve&nbsp;learning opportunities, making lifelong learning a reality across the European Union and making it easier for workers to find jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/education\/education-in-the-eu\/european-education-area\/a-european-approach-to-micro-credentials_en\">A European approach to micro-credentials<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recovery from the COVID-19 crisis and the green and digital transitions require people to upskill or reskill, to maintain and acquire the competences that enable them to participate fully [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4700,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"spay_email":""},"issuem_issue":[218],"issuem_issue_categories":[14],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.8.8","language":"en","enabled_languages":["mt","en"],"languages":{"mt":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4699"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4699"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4702,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4699\/revisions\/4702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"issuem_issue","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issuem_issue?post=4699"},{"taxonomy":"issuem_issue_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issuem_issue_categories?post=4699"},{"taxonomy":"issuem_issue_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/weekly.uhm.org.mt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issuem_issue_tags?post=4699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
