MCEU Roundtable: From skills to trusted signals
Micro-credentials are increasingly recognised at EU level as a key instrument for lifelong learning, upskilling and labour mobility. The challenge is no longer defining them – but making them work in practice.
To explore this, the MCEU project invites you to an online roundtable:
From skills to trusted signals: Designing micro-credentials that work in practice
📅 9 April 2026 | 10:00–11:30 CEST
The session will bring together experts from industry and education to discuss how micro-credentials can function as credible and trusted signals of competence in the hospitality sector.
Key topics include:
• How to assess and verify real competences
• How recognition is built across stakeholders

• How initiatives move from pilot to scale
