Center of Excellence: Talent Development

 

At WinField United, we care about the development of people, that is why we created the WinField United: Center of Excellence (COE). COE is a talent development, coaching and certification platform that will enable WinField United and retail sellers to have more impactful conversations with growers. We are committed to providing you with the tools necessary to achieve your professional goals and we understand that communicating your credentials in an ever-expanding online marketplace can be challenging. That is why we have partnered with Credly  to provide you with a digital version of your credentials.

Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, personal websites and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them.

You can earn the foundational credential by participating in instructor-led courses or via e-learning.


What are digital badges?

Digital badges are an electronic representation of certification that is visual, available online and embedded with metadata that provides context, meaning and the result of an activity. Employers need concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn them and what you’re now capable of.

They are easy to manage, verify and share online. Digital badges provide evidence of what you have done and why it's important.


Claim it

Once you’ve earned a badge, you’ll receive a confirmation email from WinField United and a notification from Credly (the digital badge platform) with instructions to set up your account, claim and share your badge.


Share it

Let others know about your new credential by showcasing it. You can share your digital badge on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, via email and embedded in your resume, personal website, and email signature.
