Why learn data skills and earn badges?
Data skills are highly valued by today’s employers — “the most lucrative skill[s] to have” and “the most valuable skill[s] you can learn.” By earning GSU Data Ready! Badges, you demonstrate to potential employers that you are committed to growing the data skills that they look for in hires.
Are you a GSU instructor?
Want your students to learn data skills, but don’t want extra work on your part? Consider having your students earn GSU Data Ready! Badges for required or extra credit! Once your students receive a badge, have them share it with you for verification by either (1) having them forward their Badgr email notification, or (2) having them create a Badgr account to then send you a link to their badge in their Badgr Backpack.
