Mozilla Foundation

Developing the conceptual blueprints for micro-credential pathways

The Mozilla Foundation works to ensure the internet remains a public resource that is open and accessible to all. We were contracted by the Mozilla Foundation to develop conceptual blueprints for tools and processes that would aid pathways to employment for underpriviledged youth. Informed by research on factors affecting uptake of employment and other positive life opportunities by youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, we created the concept, blueprints and a mobile-first prototype for Open Badge Pathways, to signpost pathways and enable individuals to use digital micro-credentials to progress towards learning and employment opportunities.
