How to Close the Skills Gap with Digital Badges

Today’s workforce is caught in a relentless skills gap that grows wider each year. Employers are desperate to find qualified talent among candidates who lack sufficient technical know-how and business competence to drive organizations forward. And educational institutions continue their struggle to equip students for the future of work.

How can associations help turn the tide?

• The current state of the “skills gap”
• How to distinguish between traditional credentials, digital credentials, digital badges and open badges
• Why open badges are rapidly gaining momentum in education
• How associations can benefit from offering digital badges
• Key elements of a viable badge-based learning strategy
• What kind of technology infrastructure is needed to support open badges
• How some associations are already succeeding with digital badge programs
