You may want to work with your team to define your set of badges and how you intend for them to work in Canvas using module completion requirements before creating badges. For easy collaborative system design discussions, you can download and use the Badgr Simple Learning Pathway Worksheet (XLSX).

Each skill in the Emsi skills library has a public page that describes the skill, highlights related skills, and lists the top companies that include the skill in their job postings. Badges issued by Badgr Pro issuers can now be linked with skills so that links to job market data appear when those badges are viewed or shared.
