The great equalizer
Until recently, when it came to getting a job, there were two camps: those with degrees & those without. Now there’s badging—benefiting students, higher ed institutions, and job recruiters.
Easy and custom

Curate, showcase, and achieve

Powerful and secure? Yes!
Used by thousands of organizations across the globe to issue digital badges and stackable micro-credentials, our secure platform connects learners to new education and employment pathways.
What’s in it for you?
Increase enrollment and completion rates
Attract and serve a larger number of diverse students by offering digital credentials to lifelong learners. Both students and employers benefit when learning can flex around life and when the results from the time invested can be verified and shared. Digital credentialing leads to both.

Recognize and reward learners with badges

Why digital badges?
To foster engagement & tell the full story
Progress in education doesn’t magically materialize at the end of a degree program. Badging allows you to recognize, validate, track, and share learning achievements from day one. Empower learners to tell their full story by giving them access to it.
By prompting, suggesting structure, and providing opportunities for students to collect and connect their experiences, we have a better chance of supporting their success.

Translating achievements
Validate skills: Showcase workforce readiness
Digital credentials help translate learning outcomes into validated skills that both students and employers can understand. Badges give learners agency over their learning and career path by clearly communicating the employer-valued skills they’ve either already demonstrated or still need to earn.
