The Modern Credential that Validates your Skills and Achievements
A digital badge is a simple way for you to share your accomplishments. It is a way for your colleagues to see – and trust – the qualifications you’ve achieved. You can attach your badge to a website mail signature, or social network, and with one simple click, employers and other interested parties can easily view and verify your skills and experience required to earn it.
Digital badges keep your credentials centralized and up to date in a web-based world. With digital badges, employers and peers are provided with concrete evidence of the skills you accomplished to earn your badge and what you are capable of. Broadcom has partnered with Credly so you can quickly and easily manage, share, and verify your competencies online using their badging platform.
Our digital badges are available for customers, Broadcom business partners and employees to earn. The Broadcom page on the Credly platform lists the currently available badges that can be earned. Each badge has defined "Earning Criteria" and requirements for earning the specific badge. Additional badges are being created regularly so be sure to check back often.
You will receive an email notification from Credly (admin@credly.com) with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account. When creating your account on Credly, we recommend providing a secondary email in addition to a primary email in your Credly profile settings to allow you to access your earned badges in the event that your primary email changes.
You Earned It - Share It!
Digital badges allow individuals to be recognized when achieving new skills or competencies. Once Broadcom issues the digital badge, you have earned it and should share it with LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and email to promote your brand. In addition to managing your badges, the Credly platform gives you access to a variety of labor market data based on your skills. Start earning your digital badges now.
