Great pleasure having opened our 12th #CedefopBrusselsSeminar just now. These seminars always address timely themes, as shown in the huge interest for #microcredentials today. We are above 100 participants! Thanks to the @Europe2022FR and @Cedefop colleagues for pulling this off.
🗣️ The Cedefop study shows that microcredentials should not replace traditional qualifications. They can complement, enrich, challenge and improve them, serving as a lifelong learning opportunity for all. Cedefop Exec Dir @JuergenSiebel #CedefopBrusselsSeminar @Europe2022FR
