The Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI) recently implemented a new digital badging system for its members, so that building service contractors (BSCs) can display their certifications via digital platforms.

Digital badges are a way to recognize your BSCAI certifications in a format that can be readily shared online. Like a paper certificate, when the icon is clicked, the information revealed can be authenticated and verified by the viewer, along with providing an expiration date. Once linked up to your profiles, your badge will serve as your online resume, confirming that you are a trusted source who offers value in the BSC industry.

BSCAI currently has three Digital Badge offerings: RBSM, CBSE, and RBSP. Each badge (icon) is embedded with metadata and includes evidence of where, when, how and why it was earned. If you qualify, you will receive an email informing you of the issued badge and how to use it. 

Here are four reasons why credentials are important into today’s job market.
