Smart Skills Digital Badges
What are Smart Skills?
Smart Skills include leadership skills, interpersonal skills, creative thinking, innovation, and the ability to drive organisational change.
How can they give you the advantage over other graduates or employees?
They are among the most desired skills and qualities employers look for when hiring or promoting employees.
Learning the technical, practical and intellectual elements required to succeed at your job is important; learning Smart Skills will enable you to thrive in your career.
Where and how can I learn these skills?
You can learn these skills online by completing a series of 5 or 6 on-demand Short Courses. Each Short Course will take only one to two hours of fully online, mobile-friendly, on-demand learning to complete and can be done anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace. These on-demand Short Courses are strategically grouped together to create 5 distinct, work-ready and industry recognised Smart Skills Digital Badges. Each one is endorsed by industry heavyweights, like Kathmandu, Canva and Ovolo.
What is a Digital Badge? And how do they work?
A Digital Badge holds a portfolio of evidence of your learning and is more secure than a paper-based certificate. A completed Digital Badge will appear as an image file, but it is directly linked to verifiable metadata hosted on the Credly Acclaim Digital Credentialing Platform. Digital Badges do not expire and are unique to you and the qualifications you have earned. This platform provides context and verification and allows your future employer to see exactly what you had to do to earn each Digital Badge and what that means in terms of your capabilities – in real-time.
Once you have completed all the short course requirements of a particular Smart Skill you will be awarded the associated Digital Badge that is sharable and verifiable Digital Badge – making you work-ready with something to show for it.
You can share your Smart Skills Digital Badges directly with future employers and clients, as well as add them to your LinkedIn profile and other social media platforms, include them in your CV or in your email signature.
