MENTOR Maryland | DC is proud to announce that we are partnering with Credly to issue digital badges for our virtual platforms. To learn more about our training offerings look at our list and our Credly page.
What is a digital badge?
Digital badges can help prove, and are visual representations, that you have specific, measurable knowledge. Badges are issued, accessed, and displayed online, and can be shared on social media channels, personal profiles and resumes.
According to Participate.com: “Digital badges offer a simple way to recognize online learning. Think of a digital badge as not only a line on your resumé noting a particular skill or competency, but also visual evidence documenting how that skill was obtained.”
Please Note: MENTOR MD|DC badges mean that an individual has attended a training live and has gained knowledge concerning that topic. There is no such thing as a certified mentor, nor does MENTOR MD|DC imply that a badge certifies anyone as a mentor. Lastly, viewing a badges detail will show the skills/ knowledge covered in a training.
How do I get my badge?
MENTOR MD|DC partners with credentialing vendor Credly to issue badges. Upon completion of badge requirements, (i.e. attending a full training) Credly will issue a badge and invite attendees to claim it. To do so, you’ll create a Credly profile and there you will be able to access and view your badge as well as within your Credly profile. If you’ve received a badge on Credly before, be sure to use the same email address so that all your badges appear as part of the same profile. Here is a video Credly provides with the steps to help obtain it.
How can I share my badge?
From your Credly account, you can share the badge on social media, display it on your LinkedIn profile, and download or embed the badge to use in other locations such as on a personal website or within your company platforms.
