Public Sector Industrial Relations digital credentials elevate your learning achievement to a verified accreditation that is recognised by employers across the NSW public sector.
Digital credentials promote mobility for human resources and industrial relations practitioners by offering a credential that is portable and relevant across the sector. They can be used to support the people management processes of public sector agencies, such as onboarding, induction and performance development.
Digital badges are increasingly being used by universities and organisations throughout the world. Each badge contains verifiable data telling the employer exactly what you have achieved, rather than relying on an individual’s self-reported achievements, which helps to reduce bias in recruitment decisions.
Acclaim is the digital badge platform used by NSW Industrial Relations.
