EMPASS: The Employment Skills Pass, a Quality Standard for Faster Transition
from Education to Employment is a project focused on developing a framework for
training and certification of youth soft skills to meet the needs of employers.
The consortium, made up of members from Belgium, Greece, Northern Macedonia,
Romania and Spain, brings together national JA organizations, companies, as well
as technical and vocational education (TVET) providers.
The EMPASS project aims to develop a new micro-credential to help young people
gain and validate essential employability skills and at the same time address the
evolving demands of employers across Europe.
A micro-credential is the record of the learning outcomes that a learner has
acquired following a small volume of learning. The learning experiences leading to
the delivery of a micro-credential are designed to provide the learner with specific
knowledge, skills and competences that respond to societal, personal, cultural or
labor market needs (according to the National Qualifications Authority).
Project co-funded by the European Union
