Introducing Digital Badges

About Digital Badges

We have some exciting news! College of the Desert's Work Experience Office will now be issuing digital badges to students who receive a "C" grade or higher from their supervisor based on their evaluation of you applying the 10 21st Century Soft Skills in your work environment!

Employability Skills Badges are:

a micro-credential that verifies a specific skill to an employer
a digital badge that can set your resume apart from others
a way to highlight your key strengths and skills within an academic program

Why do Employability Skills Digital Badges Matter?

Badges can help to explain and show a future employer your skills and strengths that you mastered within your required courses.
