WGU's Novel Career Tracking Tool Assists Over Half a Million Students and Graduates in Monitoring Their Professional Advancement
Western Governors University Introduces the WGU Achievement Wallet
Western Governors University (WGU) has unveiled a new tool designed to help learners showcase their skills and find opportunities based on those skills. The WGU Achievement Wallet is currently available to WGU students, alums, and employees, but will soon be open to prospective students as well.
The WGU Achievement Wallet serves as a comprehensive platform for tracking a user's skills, education, coursework, volunteer work, job experience, and more. It provides users with personalised guidance on the paths they can take to reach their goals and desired skills.
One of the key features of the WGU Achievement Wallet is its ability to match users to careers based on their skills. By creating career paths tailored to individual users, the tool aims to help learners find their ideal career and make informed decisions about their future.
WGU President Scott Pulsipher emphasised the importance of the Achievement Wallet in helping learners verify and showcase their skills, whether through formal education, work, service, or life experience. He believes that the tool is a step towards a more equitable and inclusive talent economy that benefits learners and employers alike.
In addition to helping users generate resumes highlighting their skills and credentials, WGU also plans to share the WGU Achievement Wallet with prospective students and its findings with other higher education institutions. By doing so, WGU hopes to contribute to a broader movement towards recognising and valuing the diverse skills and experiences of learners.
The WGU Achievement Wallet marks a significant step forward in the realm of education technology, providing a powerful tool for learners to take control of their own career development and showcase their achievements to potential employers. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features, the WGU Achievement Wallet is set to make a lasting impact on the lives of learners and the world of work.
