Mapping micro-credentials in the automotive sector
As part of the project Accelerating automotive green and digital skills with micro-credentials (AutoCredify), coordinated by Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini, three new reports on micro-credentials in the automotive sector – the Good practice mapping report, the Country reports on micro-credentials and the Micro-credentials case-studies – are now available online on the website of the project.
Bringing together partners from six European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Portugal and Spain), the project aims to anticipate future skill needs in the automotive sector and develop flexible, trusted micro-credential solutions to support the green and digital transitions.
The Good practice mapping report is based on a review of 112 training practices related to micro-credentials in the automotive ecosystem across Spain, Finland and Portugal. It provides an overview of the current state of micro-credentials in the sector and identifies key gaps and opportunities. The findings show that, while the automotive sector in the three pilot countries is rich in training initiatives, there are still significant challenges in terms of quality and coherence.
The Country reports on micro-credentials offer an in-depth analysis of how each of the three countries is addressing the green and digital transition. They highlight common challenges, as well as national strengths, and provide concrete recommendations for scaling up micro-credentials as trusted tools for lifelong learning and workforce development.
Drawing on examples from Finland, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and the United States, the Micro-credentials case-studies report presents 11 in-depth case studies examining how micro-credentials are being developed and implemented across the automotive sector and beyond – ranging from electrical safety training for electric vehicle technicians and electromobility micro-credentials, to national credentialing frameworks and digital badge ecosystems.
