Connecting Learning and Skills: EARLALL Attends Cedefop and Pact for Skills Events
24/10/2025
On 23 October 2025, EARLALL took part in two important European events focused on skills development and lifelong learning: Cedefop’s workshop on “Microcredentials and the Future of Learning” and the Pact for Skills 2025 Networking Event. Both gatherings offered valuable insights into trends and initiatives shaping Europe’s skills agenda, aligning closely with EARLALL’s work in supporting regional cooperation on education and workforce development.
Exploring Microcredentials and the Future of Learning
At Cedefop’s virtual workshop, experts and stakeholders discussed the growing role of microcredentials in providing flexible learning pathways and supporting upskilling and reskilling across Europe.
The event highlighted how microcredentials can enhance access to learning and better respond to labour market needs – topics closely connected to EARLALL’s ongoing efforts to promote lifelong learning in European regions.
Networking for Skills: The Pact for Skills 2025 Event
On the same day, EARLALL also attended the Pact for Skills 2025 Networking Event, which brought together Pact members and organisations to share experiences, achievements, and opportunities for collaboration. The event featured panels, networking sessions, and one-to-one meetings aimed at strengthening partnerships across sectors.
Notably, the LCAMP project (Learner Centric Advanced Manufacturing Platform), in which EARLALL is involved, was highlighted in one of the panels as an example of a regional skills partnership supporting innovation and cooperation in advanced manufacturing.
As leader of one of the Regional Skills Partnerships under the Pact, EARLALL valued the chance to connect with other members and explore potential synergies for future initiatives.
EARLALL’s participation in both events reflects its continued engagement in European-level discussions on learning and skills, ensuring that regional perspectives remain central to shaping the future of workforce development and lifelong learning.
