Make the pledge
Creating a more inclusive and skills-focused workforce
Making the pledge is a commitment to start recognising digital badges as part of your recruitment process or professional development for existing members of your team.
It is free and all we ask of employers who pledge is to promote digital badges, support employees and candidates to access digital badges and share and display your digital badge pledge on your website or your workplace.
The benefits for employers
Quick and easy way to confirm that candidates have the skills you're looking for.
Build a pipeline of talent and create your own workforce of the future.
Raise the profile of your organisation when digital badges are shared on social media and attract more local people to work for you.
Increase the visibility of your opportunities and demonstrate investment in your staff.
Recognise and motivate existing staff, showing your commitment to invest in them and helping them to feel valued.
Be reactive to changing trends and skill requirements with digital badges created to help you fill skill gaps.
Grants are available for employers ready to embed badging in their recruitment or CPD processes (subject to eligibility criteria).
In return for pledging, you will get:
A Region of Learning employer pledge digital badge for display, to demonstrate your dedication to recognising skills.
Your company logo featured on the Region of Learning website.
Opportunity to participate in virtual information sessions as well as workshops with learning providers and youth services across the region.
