Digital Badge
What is Digital Badge?
A verifiable, portable credential issued in a standardised digital format — typically following the Open Badges standard — that can be displayed on LinkedIn profiles, personal websites, and digital CVs. Digital badges embed metadata including the issuer, earner, criteria, and issue date, making them independently verifiable.
Example in practice
A project manager who earns a digital badge for completing an AI certification can add it directly to their LinkedIn profile, where recruiters and clients can click through to verify the credential with the issuing organisation.
