Ireland’s position as a leader in flexible learning and lifelong learning was celebrated at the MicroCreds Capstone Event in Dublin on 12 February, marking the impact of a €14.3 million national initiative delivered under the Human Capital Initiative. The MicroCreds project, led by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) in partnership with eight universities, has supported more than 20,000 learners across Ireland through the development of over 600 accredited micro credentials. Funded by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) under the Human Capital Initiative (HCI) Pillar 3, with support from the National Training Fund, the project has transformed how Irish universities design and deliver flexible, enterprise aligned education at scale.
