To succeed in today’s economy, you need to be a self-driven, lifelong learner who can build skills independently and back them up with proof. Claiming Skill Badges is a self-assessment process that helps you practice self-reflection and build self-awareness—both essential skills in the real world.

Skill Badges teach you how to show your skills using three types of evidence that employers value:

  • Skill Narratives: Stories that explain how you use a skill, like examples you’d give in a job interview.
  • Portfolio Files: Multimedia examples, like work samples, awards, records, or credentials, that support your skills.
  • Endorsements: Feedback from others who can confirm your skill based on their own experiences with you.

While Skill Badges aren’t formal credentials, they help you learn how to prove your skills in ways that employers recognize and value.
