MicroCredentials for Higher Education and Employability (MC4HEE) MicroCredentials for Higher Education and Employability (MC4HEE) ================================================================= ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/mc4hee.jpg)The green, digital and societal transitions that are reshaping skills needs. Throughout its response to these challenges, the *MicroCredentials for Higher Education and Employability (MC4HEE)* project seeks to develop a European model in which micro-credentials become a recognised signal of skills for employers and institutions. The four partners involved in the creation of the programme - **Université libre de Bruxelles, The Univerity of Buchares, The university of Lausanne and Université de Lille** - aime to build a shared recognition framework and a common teaching framework for micro-credentials, taking into account how mature this educational format is in each institution and on the socio-economic needs of their local communities. Concretely, they will design, pilot and evaluate six inter-university micro-credentials with at least 25 learners per programme. Who will benefit from MC4HEE? ----------------------------- The project’s learners are **final-year students** and **young graduates** (Bachelor level, under 25), especially those looking for work or in an uncertain transition to employment. Priority goes to scholarship holders, people from disadvantaged backgrounds, young migrant graduates, people with disabilities, women and graduates from fields with lower employment rates. **Career changers** are also included. Beyond learners, MC4HEE addresses **universities** and **lifelong learning centres, employers, public employment services** (FOREM, France Travail, ANOFM, ORP Lausanne) and **European and national decision-makers.** Aims of the project ------------------- MC4HEE puts into practice CIVIS’ commitment to lifelong learning, flexible learning pathways and inter-university recognition.The common framework (QA, metadata, credits, digital portability via EDC/ ELM/ Europass) and the stackability recommendations it produces are designed to be transferable across CIVIS alliance. The project will also be presented in the CIVIS Lifelong Learning expert group. The project has two structuring objectives: 1. to build a shared European framework for recognising and making micro-credentials portable 2. to design, test and evaluate six inter-university micro-credentials in “transition skills” (societal, technological, environmental). ### Main outputs: - A common recognition framework; - six inter-university micro-credentials; - a shared pedagogical and transferable-skills framework; - a digital portability pilot (EDC/ Europass); - policy recommendations, policy briefs and a peer-reviewed publication. ### Expected impacts: - Better recognition of micro-credentials; - improved graduate employability (≥ 60% of learners reporting they feel more employable, completion rate > 75%); - lasting European cooperation between universities, employers and public employment services. The team -------- MC4HEE is led by the [Université libre de Bruxelles](https://www.ulb.be/) (ULB, Belgium), through the Service de Formation Continue (SFC) and the Centre de formation continue en Sciences humaines et sociales (HuSci). The other partners are: - [University of Bucharest ](https://unibuc.ro/)(UB, Romania) - [Université de Lille](https://www.univ-lille.fr/) (France), through the Direction de la Formation Professionnelle (DIAL service) - [Université de Lausanne](https://www.unil.ch/unil/fr/home.html) (UNIL, Switzerland), associated partner with Swiss funding (Movetia), through Formation Continue UNIL-EPFL The project runs in four work packages: 1. Project coordination (ULB) 2. Recognition, portability and evaluation (University of Bucharest, co-led by UNIL) 3. Design and implementation of micro-credentials (Université de Lille, co-led by ULB) 4. Dissemination, promotion and transferability (ULB, co-led by University of Bucharest) ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/en-co-fundedbytheeu-rgb-monochrome.png)*MC4HEE is a 36-month Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership (KA220), running between 1 October 2026 - 30 September 2029, when it will close with a European policy forum.* ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
