Why Get a Badge?
HERA’s AI Literacy Microcredential is a short, asynchronous tutorial providing an overview of AI and machine learning. Learners will be introduced to AI over five modules and will have a general understanding of AI as well as how AI is being applied in the workplace through examples from employers in southeastern Wisconsin. Each self-paced module, averaging 20 minutes in length, will include a competency assessment. Completers of the assessment will automatically receive a HERA AI Literacy Badge, which they can share on their resume and LinkedIn profile. (Note: We will guide completers on how to access their badge during the series.)
Participants will be provided with options to learn more through relevant credentials, programs and degrees available at HERA institutions.
Benefits: AI Literacy develops specific competencies that add value to business and individual roles. Increased AI knowledge ensures the benefits of AI are accessible and understood by a broad audience, not just tech specialists. AI Literacy increases our region’s AI agility, innovation and can drive transformational change.
