Capabilities include curated learning paths with labs and assessments to help professionals prepare for the most sought after technical certifications and badges
Udemy , a company dedicated to improving lives through learning, today proudly announced availability of its new Badging offering. The capabilities were introduced as part of an Integrated Skills Framework methodology designed to help organizations make sense of the complex skills landscape so that they can future-proof their workforce and keep pace with innovation.
