Upskilling the EU Hospitality Industry with Portable Micro-Credentials
Project Description
The MCEU Hospitality project, spanning 36 months from January 2024 to December 2026 under the Erasmus+ program, aims to develop micro-credentials tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry, advancing the European Union (EU)'s green and digital transition. With an eight-partner transnational consortium, the project will issue micro-credentials to 500 learners in Spain, Denmark, and Iceland, focusing on digital and green skills, addressing skill gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
By offering micro-credentials through an innovative online platform, this initiative provides a solution for lifelong learning (LLL), upskilling, and reskilling tailored to the green and digital transition within the hospitality industry. As a result, it enhances the employability of hospitality workers while also playing a vital role in achieving EU targets for adult training participation and employment rates.
Moreover, MCEU adheres to key EU policies such as the EU Skills Agenda, the European Education Area, the Digital Education Action 2021-2027, and the European Green Deal, It will also design micro-credentials in accordance with the Council Recommendation on a European approach to LLL lifelong learning and employability. This strategy ensures that MCEU not only meets the immediate needs of the industry but also contributes to implementing relevant policy.
