Digital badges for HBCU students improve career prospects
Briefly

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) serve a significant share of Black students, fostering positive environments, but they suffer from historic underfunding affecting graduation outcomes.
A report by the Institute for College Access and Success revealed that HBCU graduates earn, on average, $16,600 less than their peers from non-HBCUs, revealing a troubling trend in post-graduation success.
Nonprofit organizations like the Thurgood Marshall College Fund are addressing equity gaps by providing support and resources for HBCU students to elevate their career prospects.
The Life Journey app, launched by TMCF in partnership with Territorium, helps HBCU students identify their strengths and explore potential career paths through personalized assessments and digital badging.
