Microcredentials are not only a convenient tool for confirming one's skills, but also provide excellent motivation for continuously developing throughout life. However, these are just some of the benefits of microcredentials. 

Poland's record-low registered unemployment rate, 5.1% in April 2024, places it among the top EU countries with the lowest number of unemployed people. Meanwhile, as many as 77% of European employers struggle to find employees with the right skills.

Our project conducted at the Institute of Educational Research is a response to global technological and educational trends and the resulting administrative recommendations of the European community. 

Microcredentials are being talked about not only as a hope for education, but also as an opportunity for all participants in the labor market, with different backgrounds and of all ages. Today we will look at the opportunities that microcredentials offer to two different groups: people over 50 and juniors.
