Badging
The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Center for Continuing Education will be the primary administrator and source of information for all non-academic digital badges.
What is a digital badge? Throughout their time at TAMUK, students are acquiring skills and knowledge important to their career path. Digital badges have become the way businesses check on a student’s level of professionalism and job skills/abilities. While pursuing a degree or certificate, students can leverage microcredentials and digital badges to find part-time employment, internships, and work-study programs that propel their learning and career pathways.
Here is a short video with more information -
TAMUK students are provided so much more than just academics. We provide educational experiences and skills. Our goal is to have each student complete their time with us as a well rounded, productive, and career ready individual.
If you would like to collaborate on the development of a digital badge, all you need to do is submit a proposal form. If you have any questions, please email badging@tamuk.edu.
As a student we learn more than just academics in our courses. By participating in a badging program you will then be able to provide proof of everything that you have learned including specialized equipment or a specific skill. These experiences are important to our professional futures.
Once you have completed all requirements to receive a badge you will be issued the badge via email. Once you have created a free account and accepted your badge you can now SHARE it.
