"The implementation of digital badging into TAP's programming has been undoubtedly beneficial on multiple levels. The opportunity to earn both technical and career readiness badges has been a significant motivating factor for our students in working diligently on their projects, gaining new skills and successfully moving through the program…While the majority of TAP participants and trainees do not enter the program having completed a traditional educational path in the field of animation, the digital badges earned also serve as a powerful way for them to communicate their skills on a resume or LinkedIn profile to potential employers."
Bianca R., The Animation Project Graduate
“As a TAP trainee, the digital badges helped provide structure and clarity for my learning process. The badges enabled me to focus on which technical and workforce development skills I wanted to improve on, thus acting as a source of motivation throughout the program. Outside of TAP, the badges are impressive conversation starters at networking events. I also appreciate having the option to link badges to potential employers, which reports the full details of my certifications.”
