MORAL aims to support disadvantaged groups (long-term unemployed with emphasis on women and youth, economically inactive women, and low-skilled adults) in entering the labour market and to upskill employees that are currently holding entry-level (junior) job positions, through the development and validation of Key Skills included in a ‘Passport To Employment’ (PTE). To this end, micro-credentials and asynchronous electronic learning materials for micro-courses are designed, developed, and pilot tested. The most important skills for employment are identified in four European Competency Frameworks (LifeComp, GreenComp, DigComp, EntreComp) through research (focus groups and a large-scale survey) with the participation of employers.

The project involves learners, employers and employer representatives, VET providers, and policy makers, who will benefit from the project activities as follows:

• Disadvantaged groups with be provided with a tool for accessing the labour market.
• Employees in entry-level (junior) job positions will be provided with an upskilling tool.
• Employers will be provided with a tool facilitating the selection of candidates for the labour market.
• Employer representatives will be provided with experience in the development of micro-credentials.
• VET providers delivering non-formal and informal trainings will be provided with experience in the development of micro-credentials, which can be transferred to other VET providers inside and outside the partner countries.
• Policy makers will be provided with insights regarding the possibility of using micro-credentials at the policy level (e.g., aligning them with Νational Qualifications Frameworks – NQFs).
