The National Science Foundation awarded a $999,887 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to SRI International, a non-profit research and development organization, for the period of August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The project aims to investigate and develop an institutional-level badging and micro-credentials program to document STEM technician students' professional skills competencies, such as communication, teamwork, and adaptability. The key objectives are to: (A) design, test, and implement a badging sequence for student professional skills micro-credentials; (B) design, test, and implement a badging sequence to support and document instructors' integration of activities and reflections into courses; (C) develop a strategy for engaging employers and linking to badging ecosystems; and (D) explore ways for colleges to track participation, achievement, and workplace testimonials. The overarching goal is to increase institutional capacity to develop STEM technicians' professional skills in a portable, digitally-shareable format.
