Skills are important to the quality and currency of your badge. They speak to what an earner should be able to do. Additionally, you can use the skills area to highlight knowledge gained.
Our algorithm reads the description and criteria to determine what might fit your context. You can select those skills and add them to your template. Additionally, you can add your own skills.
When you create a new template, or when you edit an existing template, look to the lower portion of the form and click on the Generate button. Our program reads your description and criteria and presents skills that are mapped to our Pearson ontology. You can decide to keep them or remove them, but these are the strongest skills that will align best with occupation insights. For your earners, this means your metadata better supports accurate occupation mapping. (The skills displayed with a green check are aligned to the ontology. Those without checks were added independently.)
