I’ve done it as a new grad because I didn’t have much to put on there. I think it definitely adds value. It shows them you’re intrinsically motivated to improve your skills.

If you’re putting it on your resume isn’t your motivation extrinsic? Getting a job, impressing someone, more money when you do get a job, etc.
Resume items that are largely extrinsically motivated, but seem intrinsically motivated, are a well trodden path.
