Showcase Your Achievements with Digital Badges
We believe in celebrating milestones—big and small—along the journey of entrepreneurship. That's why Burton D. Morgan Foundation has partnered with Credly, a leading digital credentialing platform, to award digital badges that recognize the time, effort, and learning our participants invest in our programs.
What are Digital Badges?
Digital badges are visual, verified representations of the skills and knowledge you’ve gained. More than just a graphic, each badge is embedded with data that links directly to the experience it represents—making it easy to share your accomplishments with employers, peers, and professional networks.
Badges are:
- Verified – Backed by metadata that confirms your achievement
- Portable – Easily shared on LinkedIn, resumes, and email signatures
- Recognizable – Trusted by employers and institutions
