2026 Badge Summit @ CU Boulder
In-person July 13-15 | Online August 4
Tuesday July 14, 2026 2:30pm - 3:00pm MDT
As micro-credentials gain traction across higher education, institutions face a shared challenge: supporting faculty in credential design while meaningfully engaging employers. Employer input is often limited, while faculty lack clear structures to guide development. This session introduces a practical, repeatable co-creation model grounded in higher education–industry partnerships. Through interactive activities, participants will explore real-world examples, lessons learned, and ready-to-use frameworks they can apply immediately.
