What Is a Microcredential?

A microcredential (or digital badge) is a visual representation of an accomplishment, an achievement, or a developed competency.

Earning microcredentials can:

• Demonstrate accomplishments and experience gained through volunteer service, professional learning, and work-related projects or contributions
• Tell peers and current and prospective employers a detailed story of both hard and soft skills acquired
• Provide a pathway to continuing education and support lifelong learning
