Open badges play a critical role in empowering people to progress on equitable pathways to career opportunities. In life learning journeys, each of us needs to design, own, combine, curate, and share badges that transparently and verifiably show what we know and can do. In this section, the panelists from across the sector will discuss the systematic biases to equitable opportunities in our systems and structures, showing how uncovering them, creating on-ramps, open standards, and inclusive design are all essential to support human fulfillment to life sustaining careers.

*Following the panel, join us for Table Talk sessions to take a deeper dive, as well as a virtual discussion on August 9th for a continuation of the conversation
