OCN London Celebrates Its 10,000th Digital Badge
Wednesday 4th June 2025Milestone badge awarded to learner on Amazon Data Analyst Pre-Apprenticeship Programme
OCN London is proud to announce the issuance of its 10,000th digital badge, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to recognising and rewarding learning. This landmark badge was awarded to a learner who successfully completed the Level 3 Amazon Data Analyst Pre-Apprenticeship Programme, delivered through a pioneering collaboration between Newham College, Queen Mary University of London, and Amazon Career Choice.
This pre-apprenticeship initiative forms part of Amazon’s Career Choice Programme, an educational benefit designed to empower Amazon employees to gain new skills for career advancement—whether within Amazon or beyond. More information on the programme is available via London City Institute of Technology.
As part of the programme, learners complete a series of OCN London microcredentials that support their progression into data-focused careers. These include:
- Sources of Data
- Data Analysis
- Data Analysis to Support Business
- Presenting Data
- Keeping Data Secure
- Continuous Professional Development
Each microcredential is accompanied by a digital badge, enabling learners to share their achievements online in real time with potential employers and peers. The flexibility and focus of these microcredentials offer tangible proof of competence in high-demand skill areas, especially important in today’s fast-evolving digital economy.
While the 10,000 digital badges issued by OCN London span a diverse range of learning experiences—from work readiness and attendance to formal achievement—the Amazon Data Analyst Pre-Apprenticeship Programme exemplifies the transformative potential of microcredentials. It demonstrates how targeted, employer-aligned learning can open up new career pathways and enhance workforce readiness.
We extend our congratulations to the learner who received this milestone badge and applaud all our partners involved in delivering this impactful programme. Together, we are building a more inclusive, responsive and skills-focused education landscape—one badge at a time.
