Open Badge certification, recognition of skills

The Open Badge certification system, born in 2010 and tested in France from 2017, serves to recognize an individual's skills. Because a person's value is not only represented by their university curriculum, the open badge allows them to promote knowledge, know-how, a particular commitment, or even a contribution to a project. Integrated into their CV, it offers students an opportunity to stand out in the job market.
