Microcredentials And Guidance on Industry 4.0 Competencies
The MAGIC project identifies most in demand skills on Industry 4.0 and existing gaps in related training provisions. It provides the opportunity to test innovative approaches to assess and validate skills based on microcredentials and blockchain technologies.

A project full of MAGIC
The project contributes to raise awareness on labour market intelligence and the use of AI to map emerging skill needs related to Industry 4.0. The project foresees the opportunity to curate content, matching the gaps in current training. European fast-changing society and labour market require more targeted acquisition of skills and competences.
By “ecosystem of microcredentials“, we mean a complex model of supporting MCs – portability, relationships and processes, technical solution, sustainability, relevance and quality assurance.
Microcredentials
As a result of small learning experiences, such as short courses – are considered one of the key tools for the adaptation of new challenges. As the European Commission recommendation on micro-credentials is quite general, respecting different approaches and frameworks of all member states, this project will propose and pilot very specific ecosystems of micro-credentials for each of the 2 partner countries.

The projet in brief
Objectives
The project aims to make operational a system for issuing microcredentials to certify the acquisition of skills and competences in Industry 4.0. At the end of the project, a set of microcredentials in Italy and Portugal will be made operational and data will be collected and analysed on the user experience and the uptake of microcredentials by public and private stakeholders.
