VMware Digital Badges … an innovation in show-and-tell
VMware skills are recognized, respected and valued globally throughout the IT industry, yet seamlessly communicating your abilities and achievements can be challenging. Now, when you earn a VMware certification, complete an IT Academy challenge, or contribute to the certification program, you can easily and quickly share verified proof wherever and whenever you choose.
VMware badges are represented by a digital image that once clicked on by a colleague or employer will display verified information such as issue date, what it took to earn the badge, and more that reflects the steps you undertook to earn your skills.
VMware badges are:
- sharable on any digital platform: social media, email signature, embedded in your résumé, or the web
- authenticated by VMware and trusted by employers, colleagues and industry peers
- the new way to access Labor Market Insights to find out who’s looking for VMware expertise
- a single source that combines your credentials and provides a complete overview of your skills
