Accelerating green and digital skills in the automotive sector with microcredentials (AutoCredify)
What is AutoCredify?
The transition to the green and digital twin is transforming industries, changing business models, and redefining skills demands in sectors such as automotive and ICT. In response, our project is developing an innovative skills anticipation approach, tailored to the automotive maintenance sector, targeting semi-skilled workers and technicians (EQF 3-5). Our aim is to capture emerging skills needs at a granular, task-based level and translate them into practical learning solutions.
At the heart of our initiative is a scalable microcredential (MC) system, structured around robust governance, pedagogical innovation, reliable assessment, and financial sustainability. Designed in collaboration with key stakeholders, this system will drive dynamic pathways for professional development and retraining, offering short, targeted courses that enhance employability and professional resilience.
The project also investigates the reliability and adoption of microcredentials in VET systems, addressing quality assurance, integration with traditional qualifications, and long-term sustainability. By bridging the gap between rapid technological change and vocational training, we empower workers and job seekers to thrive in a rapidly evolving labor market.

Project objectives
- Identify emerging skills needs in the automotive maintenance and repair (M&R) subsector.
- Focus on upskilling the semi-skilled, skilled, and technical workforce (MEC levels 3 to 5).
- Link skills anticipation to a scalable and reliable microcredential (MC) system.
- Demonstrate the value of MCs in supporting the green and digital transitions.
- Ensure the quality, reliability, and responsiveness of training and assessment.
- Integrate MCs with existing company qualifications and certifications.
- Design a sustainable and supportive environment for MC adoption.
- Implement and pilot MCs across various national and regional VET systems.
- Support EU policies on lifelong learning, employability, and labor market participation.
- Develop tools and guidance for the effective implementation and monitoring of MCs.
Expected results
- A granular skills map for the M&R subsector linked to the dual transition.
- A proven and scalable microcredential (MC) framework.
- MC prototypes aligned with emerging occupational profiles (EQF 3-5).
- Guidelines for governance, pedagogy, assessment, and financial models for microcredentials.
- Greater trust in and acceptance of MCs by VET providers, businesses, and students.
- Enhanced training offerings for skills upskilling and reskilling in response to green and digital needs.
- Models for integrating microcredentials into national and regional VET systems.
