What are micro-credentials?
Turn your study abroad journey into career currency. Micro-credentials are digital badges that validate the real-world skills you develop while living and learning internationally. These are evidence-based credentials that employers value.
Each micro-credential focuses on different skill sets, from cultural adaptability to sustainability leadership. You'll complete engaging activities, reflect on your experiences, and earn points that add up to official digital badges you can showcase on LinkedIn, your resume, and job applications.
Real students. Real results.
