Verifiable Digital Badges for Alaska Native Careers
Stand out to Alaska Native regional corporations and hiring managers by showcasing cryptographically verified skill badges awarded through Cook Inlet Tribal Council and partner institutions.
What is a Digital Badge?
A digital badge shows an accomplishment or skill you have learned. Each badge includes verifiable information regarding the issuing institution, date of issuance, learning criteria, and evidence that the learner has met rigorous standards.
Digital badges are dynamic, portable credentials that you own, so you can decide how you want to use them. Once earned, badges can be shared on LinkedIn, added as a link on your digital resume, embedded in your e-portfolio, and connected directly to your Alaska Native Hire profile.
How Badges Work on Alaska Native Hire
Alaska Native Hire has integrated digital badges through the Parchment platform (formerly Badgr.com). You may connect your Badgr or Parchment account to Alaska Native Hire and allow your verified credentials to be displayed instantly.
Badges can be attached to your resumes, highlighted on your candidate profile, and searched for directly by Alaska employers and regional corporations.
