Digital Badge Aware

Earners of this badge have developed a clear understanding of the purpose and value of digital badges (micro‑credentials) as a way to recognise and share skills. They have explored how digital badges make skills more visible to employers, staff and volunteers, reviewed real examples of organisations using badges in practice, and gained awareness of options for issuing workplace badges or developing bespoke badges. Earners have also considered how digital badges can support recognition, progression and workforce planning within their own organisation.
