VETASSESS and the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on digital badges, micro-credentials and membership assessments.
Under the agreement, VETASSESS and AMI will explore new business opportunities to enhance skills assessment and recognition of qualified marketing professionals.
VETASSESS has developed digital badges for marketing professionals who apply for a skills assessment for migration purposes for the occupations of Advertising Specialist, Market Research Analyst and Marketing Specialist.
It will also work with AMI to create micro-credentials and membership assessments on AMI’s behalf.
VETASSESS is a sponsor of the AMI Emerging Marketers Mentoring Program, which provides aspiring emerging marketers with an opportunity to connect with senior marketing professionals, get valuable insight into the industry and develop their skills to give them a competitive edge in their career.
As the preeminent professional body for marketers in Australia, AMI works with VETASSESS to regularly review and validate VETASSESS assessment criteria for marketing-related occupations.
VETASSESS Executive Director Rob Thomason says:
“This partnership gives AMI and VETASSESS opportunities to share information on industry trends and to develop initiatives to support marketing professionals.
“Development of micro-credentials and digital badges will assist marketers to acquire new skills and to post their achievements to clients and peers.”
Australian Marketing Institute Executive Director Andrew Thornton says:
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with VETASSESS, Australia’s leading assessment partner of choice.
“We look forward to working with them on co-branded digital credentials for international marketers and providing the expertise, knowledge and insights of VETASSESS, especially to our Student Members and Career Starters.”
