AutoCredify. Accelerating automotive green and digital skills with micro-credentials

The project AutoCredify aims to develop a forward-looking approach to skills anticipation and micro-credentialing tailored to the automotive maintenance and repair sector.

Specifically, the project seeks to anticipate the impact of the green and digital transitions on skill needs in the automotive sector, and to develop trusted micro-credential (MC) approaches that support flexible upskilling and reskilling for workers at levels 3-5 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) within the automotive sector.

By piloting different deployment models in Finland, Spain, and Portugal, the project aims to identify scalable and transferable solutions for integrating MCs into diverse Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems across Europe. Through these pilot activities, flexible reskilling and upskilling pathways will be designed, offering short courses co-created with local stakeholders.

Micro-credentials will be structured around four key pillars: governance, pedagogy, assessment, and financial sustainability.

More than simply testing how micro-credentials can be integrated into VET systems, AutoCredify will explore why they matter, evaluating their trustworthiness, quality, relevance, and potential to make VET systems more responsive and resilient.

As lead partner and coordinator of the project, Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini Srl SB is responsible for leading key research and mapping activities. FGB also contributes actively to all work packages, including stakeholder engagement, policy experimentation, and dissemination.
