MCEU Hospitality
Upskilling the EUROPEAN Hospitality Industry with Portable Micro-Credentials
The MCEU Hospitality project aims to develop micro-credentials to support hospitality workers’ upskilling and reskilling, addressing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and EU’s green and digital transition plans.
It creates demand-led courses for green and digital skills, aligning with EU recommendations on micro-credentials.
The project will establish an online platform for issuing and verifying these credentials, leveraging EU tools for portability and recognition.
With five courses targeting 500 learners, the project aligns with EU’s Skills Agenda for modernizing vocational education and training. Overall, it fosters innovation in the hospitality industry, driving systemic change at practice and policy levels.
