In the competitive world of applying for jobs or simply online networking, it’s important to stand out to employers as they scan through thousands of resumes and online profiles. What better way to do so in this age of technology than with a digital badge?
A digital badge is earned for completing a specific skill, microcourse, microcredential, class, certificate course or program. It can then be added to your resume, website, social media page, or LinkedIn profile, which gives employers a convenient visual representation of your skills and credentials.
On that note, we’re excited to announce that California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Extension & International Programs is launching a digital badge for completing their Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Certificate program, a first at CSUF!
Once you complete the program, you will receive an invitation to create an account and claim your digital badge on Badgr. Badgr is part of the Canvas learning management system used by CSUF, and it serves as an online platform for displaying all the digital badges you’ve earned.
“Digital badges are a great way to display your recently acquired skill set,” said Christina Kim, EIP Associate Director of Program Development. “Also, with the Badgr platform, you can develop an impressive portfolio of the badges you’ve earned.”
Are you ready to earn your own digital badge in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and make your resume stand out? Register for the next class that begins on March 7th! An engineering degree isn’t required, but it helps to have a strong interest or experience in manufacturing.
If that’s not a fit, don’t fret. We are developing a new Game-Based Learning microcredential program with digital badges that is slated to launch this fall.
