Abstract
This chapter describes how institutions of higher education (IHEs) can create a multi-faceted microcredentialing/digital badging program that includes industry specific skills, transferrable skill development (career readiness skills), and reskilling/upskilling for regional community workforce partners. Drawing from the direct experience of Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), a regional, state comprehensive university, this chapter provides a blueprint for cultivating relationships with diverse constituencies, such as industry partners, faculty, staff, and students, to create a successful, comprehensive digital badging initiative.
