    • A digital badge is a verified achievement indicator of accomplishment, skill quality or interest that can be earned in various learning environments.
    • Northwood Tech awards the badges through a national company, Credly, which certifies the authenticity. 
    • When a student claims their badge, it can then be linked to their social media profiles or featured on employment applications, portfolios and websites. 
    • Digital badges can also be used as talking points during job interviews and provide the badge recipient a way to stand out from other candidates. 
    • To check out a list of programs that offer digital badging, head over to view our Degree Programs and Certificates page and look for this (insert badge symbol here?) digital badge symbol.

"I have something to show, and I'm only a quarter of the way done with a two-year program. It makes me feel like I'm doing a good job, and it's just something to show that my hard work is being acknowledged." ~ Pierson Goodreau, Northwood Tech Digital Badge Recipient
