T3 Alaska program provides a badging system to assess competency-based skill development. Both high school and college students can earn badges which culminate into certifications. Certifications can be used to demonstrate job readiness, improve internship placement, and provide authorization to use equipment at other locations. Students who earn badges have more travel and participatory opportunities.
