Professional Development: Put A Badge On It!
The GradPathways Institute for Professional Development is developing micro-credentials to allow graduate students and postdocs at UC Davis to track their development of skills and their achievement of goals connected to their professional development. By acquiring digital badges connected to activities and assessments, users can monitor their progress through a variety of Pathways, share achievements and progress with mentors and potential employers, and develop the vocabulary to transparently communicate the skills they develop in graduate school.
