A: We have partnered with Credly’s digital badge platform to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated through The Partnership Leadership Development Program(s) into a badge. The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This enables you to manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.

A: Our badges represent your individual achievement, your company’s investment in your leadership, and your Partnership alumni status, all in a badge that is simple to share, trusted, and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential, what you are now capable of, and the Partnership network of expertise that you now have access to. Credly also offers labor market insights, based on your skills. Lastly, you can search and apply for job opportunities right through the Credly platform.
