Learning and Training Providers 

Digital badges are a revolutionary approach to acknowledging informal learning.

They provide tangible proof of informal learning by capturing learnt skills and achievements. 

Digital badges bridge the gap between informal and accredited learning, pathing the way for more accessible career and life choices. 

They can add value to a provider's learning programme, making opportunities measurable to the provider, visible to the learners, and connected through pathways to the wider skills landscape.

Schools, Colleges and Alternative Provisions 

Schools and Colleges can capture extra-curricular activities and employability programme opportunities with digital badges, rewarding students for accomplishments achieved around the curriculum.

Schools benefit from free all-staff training on the benefits and management of digital badging and badge-issuing platforms, as well as student engagement workshops and resources.

Arts and Culture

Arts and cultural organisations can further their impact on learning, outreach and public engagement by more formally recognising opportunities. 

Arts and cultural organisations benefit from pathway development partnerships with regional providers and employers to broaden their current visitor profile and contribute towards sector career routes.

Our current badges offer participants the opportunity to grow skills in customer facing roles, such as Family Activities Volunteering and Public Engagement. We hope that young people will start a journey with us, developing their personal skills and building their CVs while enjoying the variety of collections and opportunities that UCM has to offer.

Bespoke programmes and services for young people

Many initiatives and Youth Services use the Region of Learning as part of their mentoring programme or pathway plan.

These programmes and services benefit from learner-focused pathways and referral routes to and from the Region of Learning programme.
