You will learn about digital badges that recognize microcredential completion and the new SUNY-wide microcredential directory. You’ll learn about the value that microcredentials add to your resume\, showcasing your skills and helping you stand-out from the competition. \nJoin us to learn about the power of microcredentials; tools designed to meet you where you are and provide multiple pathways to career and academic success.
