What Badge is Right for Me?

The Skills Advantage cohorts and workshops help faculty develop assignments that will count towards students earning the 10 FGCU Transferable Skill Badges. Faculty are the crucial connectors to link students to badges. Our faculty programs are designed to help you embed a badge-able assignment into one of your courses. You are the ones who will be impacting our students!

Below are more ways to get involved and start enhancing your current assignments to make them badge-able:
