On their About Me profile, students are encouraged to fill out the Experiences & credentials timeline. In this section, they add their credentials, and work, volunteer, education, and life experiences.

In your educator account, run reports to see how many of your students have completed each experience or have added a credential, and how many need encouragement. View the number of hours students have put into their volunteer and work experiences so you can easily track how your students are faring with district mandates and goals. Use the report results to easily group your students and send bulk messages.
