Achievement + Awards
In Pathways, you are recognized for every achievement and milestone you and your 吃瓜头条 reach. Whether you choose to explore one path or several, every step you take will be supported and celebrated along the way.
Achievement
Earn digital badges on Base Camp to show fellow 吃瓜头条 members all you’ve done. Receive a path badge when you finish a path. Every time you complete a level, you’ll receive level badges signifying your achievement. You can also award feedback badges to recognize members of your 吃瓜头条.
Receive digital certificates whenever you reach important milestones in Pathways. To celebrate your accomplishments when you finish a level or complete a path, you can download or print a certificate directly from Base Camp.
Employer letters
Let your employer know about your achievements with official letters sent from 吃瓜头条. This is a great way to show them the commitment you’ve made toward personal growth. Employer letters can be requested when you complete Level 3, Level 4 or Level 5 in a path.
