In an era where traditional education and training pathways are being reimagined, micro-credentials – smaller, more targeted, and more flexible education programs – emerge as a solution to the increasing demands for upskilling and reskilling. Recognised as pivotal in facilitating swift skill acquisition, these programmes are gaining momentum globally. But how are countries integrating micro-credentials into their education systems? This Q&A webinar will draw from the findings of the OECD-European Commission "Micro-credential Implementation Project" which explores how OECD countries, particularly Finland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Spain, are responding to the rise of micro-credentials and how integrating them is re-shaping the landscape of lifelong learning and workforce development. Speakers include: Petri Haltia, Senior Ministerial Adviser, Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland Peter Ondreička, Director of Higher Education Department, Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport, the Slovak Republic Duša Marjetič, Head of Higher Education Division, Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Slovenia Pedro Martínez Martín, Senior Ministerial Adviser, Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Spain Isabel Ladron Arroyo, Policy Officer, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, European Commission Shizuka Kato, Higher Education Policy Analyst, Directorate for Education and Skills, OECD Moderated by Simon Roy, Head of Higher Education Policy, Directorate for Education and Skills, OECD
