The O’Brien Center supports students in earning digital credentials that align with their learning goals and career development. Digital badges are awarded upon completion of pre-set requirements and qualifications, providing a verified way to showcase skills and achievements. Once earned, these badges can be added to LinkedIn profiles and shared on social media to enhance professional visibility.

- Highlight skills: Earn badges for coursework, certifications and experiential learning that demonstrate your expertise to employers.
- Build career readiness: Stand out in the job market by sharing your verified credentials on LinkedIn, resumes and professional profiles.
- Stay motivated & engaged: Digital badging recognizes accomplishments and encourages continuous learning and skill-building.
- Build a professional brand: Polish your online presence by showcasing the skills that you’ve mastered.
