Our Goals

LATEST will develop micro-credential courses to fill this gap, but also to meet the labour market demands and needs for more flexible, learner-centred forms of provision of education and training. Indeed, micro-credentials allow for targeted acquisition of skills and competences, adapted to a changing society and labour market, as well as being part of traditional qualifications. Before developing these courses, LATEST will carry out a need’s analysis of the target groups of learners regarding their skills, knowledge and experience.
