JAMS is a combination of our names; Jessica, Art and Michelle Swoboda. We started taking beginner's yoga classes through MCC to see which poses would work best for our business.

Without the help of MCC, our business would have never been as successful as it is.

DIGITAL BADGING Many of the WID offerings provide digital badges for your professional portfolio. Contact corporatetraining@mccneb.edu for more information.

What is Digital Badging?

A digital badge is an indicator of accomplishment or skill that can be displayed, accessed and verified online – a digital credential. Badges are issued based on established criteria for what must be done to earn the badge. When a digital badge is displayed online, clicking the image provides a description of the skill demonstrated and the criteria used to measure it.

Why do digital badges matter?

A digital badge is important because it represents a credential or verified evidence of skill. Demonstration of these discrete skills is not dependent on completion of a degree, so a digital badge can be used to support and verify specific skills and abilities required for employment, advancement in your career or other purposes.

What does a Digital Badge look like?

The level of a digital badge issued by Metropolitan Community College is determined through a review of the learning experience. A digital badge is aligned to one of four digital badge images that represent the level of challenge or complexity of the demonstrated skill.
