This week, when students complete their 15-week higher education course, the student will be awarded a blockchain-secure LinkedIn certification on the last day of class. We have teamed up with Accredible at credential.net to provide our certification and badge, which students can proudly display on their LinkedIn profile. Check out a recent example here.
When students use our step-by-step instructions to add the digital certification to LinkedIn, future employers researching their LinkedIn profile will be able to view the credential, including the participant’s name, the instructor’s name, and the instructor’s granting university or organization. Additionally, these potential employers will also have access to an “Evidence” section. Within this evidentiary portfolio, students can add files, links, and screenshots to enhance their visual portfolio of accomplishment to detail all the excellent work completed in the course. Additionally, the certificate ID # and the date it was issued will also be visible on the lifetime certification. Finally, course participants will also receive a Digital Engine badge labeled “DE Certified” that can be visually placed on hard copy resumes or promotional literature. Once the digital certification is issued, it will become blockchain-secure protecting all the course participant’s personal data.
This is an extremely innovative way to display the creative and practical experience that students have learned through the Digital Engine Curriculum. We receive numerous emails and LinkedIn messages from potential employers about these certifications and how excited they were to be able to see the evidentiary portfolio of students they are hiring. Additionally, for students, it is a great way to get noticed by future employers. Along with an active website, there is no better way to exemplify the skills that students have learned in the class. Unlike with simulations, they have a real-world asset that they can take with them forever. Furthermore, many students go on to monetize their sites and continue using their class projects for many future endeavors, including running social organizations and/or ecommerce stores. As we said in the beginning, there are so many creative ways to use this course. The sky’s the limit!
