DIGITAL MICRO-CREDENTIALS
What are digital micro-credentials? They are smaller-sized courses, combined with volunteer and/or work experience, that help a young person stand out when applying for jobs or post-secondary education, and move toward the career pathway they want! Interns can earn micro-credential badges in a variety of durable skills.
WS Home Run also provides digital micro-credentials for Early Learning and Care providers that demonstrate the quality of care and instruction children receive in their program. These micro-credentials improve instructional skills, validate and support inclusion practices in the classroom, and help younger workers gain experience and move up in the field.
Micro-Credentials for Early Learning Providers
Our Quality Early Learning program offers early learning providers the opportunity to earn micro-credentials through dedicated participation in professional development and coaching. These micro-credentials, awarded by our early learning coaches, recognize providers for meeting specific criteria and enhancing their professional skills.
Digital micro-credentials can be shared electronically, such as on a website or social media. Early learning providers can also receive physical versions of their credentials that can be displayed at their sites to showcase their achievements to families and the community.
Below are the micro-credentials that West Sacramento early learning providers can earn.
Digital Micro-Credentials for Home Run Summer Interns
Youth who participate in the Home Run Paid Summer Internship Program can earn digital micro-credentials by demonstrating the skills and competencies needed for workplace success. Interns are evaluated by their supervisors using a rubric provided by the Home Run team. Those who demonstrate these skills and complete all internship assignments are awarded digital micro-credentials at the conclusion of their internship. Interns can then share their digital micro-credentials with prospective employers in a LinkedIn profile, on a website or by email.
Below are the digital micro-credentials that have been awarded to interns in the past.
