dc.description.abstractThe Agriculture Workforce Training for Collaborative Leadership (AWT4CL) project has created a digital learning badge system to help students develop and claim the durable skills needed for dynamic careers in agriculture. The AWT4CL digital learning badges are based on APLU employability skill areas: communication, decision-making, professionalism, and leadership. These areas, broken down into specific badges, develop essential skills that prepare learners for personal and professional success. Each badge in the series requires learners to meet specific learning outcomes through practical application and reflection. Each badge is earned through a two-part module involving both an interactive activity and a written reflection. The module is flexible, allowing instructors to adjust specific activities to meet the needs of their course or program while upholding the core badge objectives. In this workshop, participants will learn how to adopt badges into their courses and take home the resources to make it happen.en
