Learners and Career Seekers

How can digital badging help you? 

Digital Badges are shareable micro-credentials that allow you to connect with potential employers, opportunity providers and other learners by validating skills gained from formal and informal learning experiences.

You can build professional relationships with others in a wider community by working together and sharing what you know.

Whether you take part in an interactive workshop, a networking event, volunteering or a work experience opportunity, badges give you a tangible way of evidencing competencies through a visual representation of your achievements.

By completing an activity, you can get a digital badge that tells everyone exactly what you've achieved.
