The Universitat Jaume I has convened around thirty companies and organisations to discuss university micro-credentials, an innovative and flexible training proposal that provides a plus in terms of certification, as they are recognised at European level.

Micro-credentials have an innovative, inclusive and interconnected format. "They allow the specific acquisition of skills and competences and favour employability, thus contributing to broaden lifelong learning opportunities", said Isabel García Izquierdo, Vice-Rector for Studies and Lifelong Learning at the UJI, in her speech.

Representatives of companies from different sectors, as well as of the University Chairs and Business Classrooms, have been able to learn about the characteristics of this new training format, its advantages and the possibilities it offers to participants, especially the automatic recognition it implies at European level, regardless of the country in which it is taken.

The European Commission defines a micro-credential as a qualification that demonstrates the learning outcomes acquired through a short course or module, assessed in a transparent way and which can be offered, among other institutions, by universities. "The advantage of the micro-credentials is that they allow people who take them to improve their skills or retrain, updating their knowledge and adapting it to the current reality and the needs of the labour market, without having to take a full higher education programme," stressed the Vice-Rector for Studies and Lifelong Learning, Isabel García Izquierdo.

During the meeting, the procedure for the implementation of a university micro-credential was explained, as well as the requirements it must meet: it must include certain aspects, such as quality verification procedures, the level of learning according to the European Qualifications Framework, the volume of theoretical work required (in ECTS credits), the practical volume in hours, among others. In addition, it must comply with the principle of transparency, authenticity and portability (in line with European standards EDC, European Digital Credentials).

In this sense, "the official proof of the training received will be incorporated into a digital portfolio by means of a certificate in which all the details of the training appear and which will be recognised at European level, in a format of university digital credential through an app", said the UJI Vice-Rector for Studies and Lifelong Learning.

In relation to the topics, those strategic and topical areas are likely to constitute a micro-credential, especially those that are a priority in the European context: sustainability, SDGs, logistics, environment, artificial intelligence or renewable energies, among others.

The attending organisations have actively participated by raising doubts and proposals and have shown their satisfaction with this initiative, in which the Universitat Jaume I is one of the pioneers at a national level, "because it demonstrates the commitment of the UJI to facilitate the professional recycling and integration of people by promoting their employability, with the adaptation to the new demands of a labour market in continuous change. Micro-credentials cover a niche that is not covered by traditional lifelong learning, they cover the need for certification in specific skills that are in high demand".

The Universitat Jaume I-Business Foundation will be in charge of prospecting and coordinating the proposals, previously approved by the University's Board of Directors and governing bodies.
