What are digital badges?

Digital Badges are a simple way to acknowledge the value of creative skills and experiences, support young people on creative pathways and evaluate the impact an organisation is making.

When it comes to skills and employability, it can be difficult to show the experience employers want to see in job applications, CVs or when applying for courses – particularly when that experience is more practical or not formally credited. Digital Badges help organisations, earners and employers track and show different knowledge and skills. They provide:

• A smart, simple, and visual way of recognising non-accredited learning.
• A useful tool for earners to proudly display on their website, email signature, LinkedIn profile, and CV.
• An effective and inexpensive way of proving impact as an organisation.
• A simple website link accessible to anyone, globally.
