Information Technology Services (ITS) collaborated with Professional Education and Special Programs (PESP) to develop a number of achievement badges that will be awarded to student employees working in our front-facing support areas on all main campuses. These areas include the ITS Help Desk, Computer Resource Center, Tech Zone, Client Support Office, Educational Media, and Academic Technology.

Over the course of one or more semesters, our student staff acquire valuable skills and knowledge, such as customer service and specific technology skills, that can help make them more marketable to potential employers once they graduate. So we wanted to devise a way to help showcase their capabilities and hopefully enhance their future employment prospects.

Each ITS area will have two badge levels (intermediate and more advanced) and will award badges to their respective student employees who have met the eligibility requirements each semester. Earned badges will be awarded to students through the Credly platform and they can then add the badge to their LinkedIn profile and/or share it via their social media accounts. Below is a list of the ITS badges that have been created and their descriptions can be viewed on the Credly website at https://www.credly.com/organizations/pace-university/badges.

  • Academic Technology Proficiency Level I
  • Academic Technology Proficiency Level II
  • Client Support Student Technician Proficiency I
  • Client Support Student Technician Proficiency II
  • Customer Service Badge (Ed Media)
  • IT Service Desk Student Technician Proficiency I

We are very proud of the work that our student staff does each and every day and their commitment to learning new on-the-job skills that make them even more valuable members of the ITS team!
