On February 15 and 16, at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Leganés, Spain), the first work meetings of the ECOCredGT consortium were held.
The ECOCredGT project has the following General Objective (GO): “to build capacities in Vocational Education and Training Institutions (VETs) towards a digital credentials ecosystem that can have a positive impact on promoting employability”. ECOCredGT was conceived with the idea of providing a validated model that is easily adaptable and replicable by the VETs for a successful Digital Transformation. It is undeniable that digital credentials will become fundamental pillars for skills recognition and have great potential to revolutionize and reactivate the labor market and promote employability. Therefore, the VETs must anticipate and explore the different ecosystems that allow facilitating the participation of all stakeholders. To this end, ECOCredGT will establish a validated and replicable model of national digital credential issuance centers in Latin America, taking as a reference the national digital credential issuance center that will be created as part of ECOCredGT in Guatemala.
