Credentials
A digital badge issued by the Global Emerging Leadership Programs (GELP) is a visual microcredential that demonstrates the learning outcomes and relevant skills you have achieved through participation in our leadership conferences and programs. Each badge is verifiable and shareable. Add it to LinkedIn, your résumé, your university portal, or anywhere you want to show what you have learned.
Built on the open Open Badges 3.0 standard, tied to real criteria, and recognized by the institutions and partners that issue them.
Every badge carries cryptographically signed metadata on the open Open Badges 3.0 standard, so anyone can verify what was earned, when, and why.
Add badges to LinkedIn, your résumé, your university portal, or anywhere you want to show what you have learned. They go with you.
Each badge is tied to specific learning outcomes (participation, reflection, and skill development), not just attendance.
Issued through programs that span Canada, the United States, India, Mexico, and the UAE. A credential the GELP network already knows.
Each badge is tied to a specific program or milestone. A small sample of what delegates and partners have earned recently.
