Green Circle - Micro-credentials in the Construction Sector
https://green-circle.eu
Environmental change is a key driver for labour demand and skills supply across all sectors, and the climate crisis has a particularly strong impact on the construction industry. This results in a need for new skills, competences and knowledge in the workforce to achieve a green transition in construction.
Within this context, the aim of Green Circle is to identify, develop, test and assess the use of micro-credentials in the construction sector to achieve a green transition, while demonstrating the potential for mainstreaming and transfer to other sectors. In addressing this aim Green Circle does not simply offer a collection of learning resources. The work carried out shows how a rigorous description of job profiles, learning needs, learning opportunities, and the relationships between them can, with appropriate technological support, facilitate the emergence of an ecosystem based on micro-credentials, and linking skills providers, employees, potential entrants to the workforce, and employers.
The project will produce a set of resources to support the development of micro-credentials for the construction sector, but will be of value to other sectors. They include:
(a) a systematic review of existing provision of short courses and micro-credentials in the construction sector;
(b) a framework for the implementation of micro-credentials;
(c) a catalogue of skills for the green transition in the construction sector;
(d) micro-credential principles and open design methodology;
(e) guidelines for new forms of assessment.
These outputs are applied in the development of 8 micro-credentials for the construction sector, evaluated in pilots in Germany, Greece, Portugal and Spain.
The outcome of the work will be a sustainable model for micro-credentials in green transition skills, which can support the growth of a micro-credential based ecosystem in the construction sector.
