Northern Michigan University Launches MySkills@NMU Digital Resume Platform

Northern Michigan University (NMU) has introduced a new digital platform called MySkills@NMU, designed to provide students with a comprehensive Learning and Employment Record (LER). This platform, powered by Smart Resume, acts as an 'NMU-branded backpack' where students can consolidate their entire educational and work experience. Unlike traditional resumes that offer a bulleted list of work history and graduation dates, MySkills@NMU allows users to highlight a broader range of credentials, including skills, certificates, and digital badges acquired through formal education, non-credit opportunities, and employer-provided training. Stephanie Zadroga-Langlois, Director of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, emphasized that the platform helps students track not just what they've learned, but what they can do. Brad Hamel, Global Campus Executive Director, noted its particular benefit for 'nontraditional learners and adult learners' who possess diverse skills from various life experiences.

This proactive approach is a response to a decade-long rise in cyberattacks targeting the education sector, which have led to sensitive data exposure, disruptions in school operations, and negative impacts on student learning.
