Welcome to the official website of the MORAL project!

Addressing Learning & Employment Challenges in a MORAL Way.

In the recent years, six key challenges in Learning & Employment have been identified across Europe that call for upskilling, with more of a focus on people entering the labour market in low-level and other positions to align their skill sets with the requirements of employers and on people belonging to disadvantaged groups to facilitate their employability.

More specifically:

1. Green and digital transitions are reshaping the way we live, work and interact, and call for a shift in skill sets to reap their full potential.
2. The Covid-19 pandemic made telework and distance learning a reality for millions of people in the EU, revealed the limitations of our digital preparedness, and negatively impacted job opportunities for many.
3. Too many people cannot find a job because they do not have the right skills or they are working in jobs that do not match their talents.
4. 40% of employers cannot find people with the right skills to fill their vacancies, while too few people have the skill sets and support to see setting up their own business as a realistic route.
5. An unacceptably high proportion of Europeans – 1 in 5 – struggle with reading and writing, and even more have poor numeracy and digital skills.
6. While everyone should have the chance to upgrade their skills on a regular basis, only 4 in 10 adults take part in learning.

Τo address these challenges, MORAL is developing a “Passport to Employment” (PTE), which includes 20 micro-credentials for life, green, digital, and entrepreneurial mindset skills from 4 European Competence Frameworks.
