Skill-Based Credential Alignment 

This unit connects to the Level 2 Credential in Career Readiness with GenAI. Whereas Unit 1 introduced foundational literacy and Unit 2 emphasized academic applications, this module elevates your skills into professional and workplace contexts. 

By completing this unit, you can demonstrate that you are able to:

• Communicate effectively by drafting, revising, and presenting ideas with GenAI support.
• Apply critical thinking by evaluating and refining GenAI outputs.
• Show professionalism and ethical awareness when disclosing GenAI use in your work.
• Use GenAI to support teamwork and leadership, preparing for collaborative environments.

Employers increasingly value these competencies. Being able to show evidence of them in résumés, portfolios, and LinkedIn profiles highlights not just GenAI knowledge but applied, career-ready practice.
