Testimonials
MCMC 2025 wrapped up in Zagreb at Algebra University on 19-20 March 2025.
See what our MCMC 2025 participants say about the event and micro-credentials:
“The biggest impression that the programme has left on me so far is that there’s a huge diversity of perspectives from which we can talk about micro-credentials.”
“I see that the development of micro-credentials is a major thing in education and training. We have always been aware of the fact that people need to invest in their reskilling and upskilling and lifelong learning in general. ”
“We need a system that is very adaptable and flexible and meets the emerging needs of society, industry and the economy. And I think micro-credentials play a super important role in that process.”
“In an age where nothing is certain anymore, where AI is changing and coming out with new things every day, micro-credentials give us a way to keep up with the times, to reskill and to become newer, better versions of ourselves.”
“The potential of micro-credentialing for us is to change the status quo of learning, where you can learn anytime, anywhere, based on the skills you need.”
“For some people, there’s not enough time to enter a full degree study programme, so micro-credentials provide a format to acquire quality skills.”
“Speakers are brilliant, organisation is brilliant and it’s been a great learning opportunity for me to be part of this event.”
“I would definitely recommend the masterclass event for anyone interested in the future of education, even if you don’t focus on micro-credentialing initiatives currently, because I think it gives a very broad scope of where the education scene is going in general.”
“I very much hope that micro-credentials will really filter through across the whole lifelong learning of people, allowing them to be more mobile on the labour market.”
“I think that micro-credentials are a key instrument for adopting this mindset of lifelong learning that the European Union is pushing for. So for upskilling and continuously educating ourselves to be agile and adapt to societal and labour market needs.”
“I can say that it’s nice to see individual learning accounts also coming up in the discussion. We at the OECD work on both topics and it’s good to see that countries and practitioners are also trying to connect the two [micro-credentials and individual learning accounts].”
