Supercharge your lifelong learning journey with digital credentials and feel empowered to articulate your unique story based on verified achievements in front of employers.
Problem statement
Graduates have voiced dissatisfaction with their degrees due to unclear learning outcomes (i.e. how degree relate to employability) and rapid industry skill changes, contributing to a significant skills gap.
Degree dissatisfaction
Graduates have voiced dissatisfaction with their degrees as they are not able to see tangible outcomes (i.e. they are not able to find jobs); specifically, they are looking how their academic achievements translate to employable skills.
Skill changes
The rapid speed of change in skill requirements driven by technological innovation has challenged the credibility of degrees. When students/learners are going for upskilling courses, they want to understand the learning outcomes.
Little skills awareness
Many students and learners have no or little awareness of their skills and competencies; and struggle to articulate their achievements in front of employers. Meanwhile it has been noted that there is a USD 8.5 trillion skills gap globally that has to be “resolved”

Earning a credential
- Learning or professional achievement: whether it is an achievement obtained from an education/learning or professional organisation, the credential outlines skills against work completed so that one can keep track of their learnings so far.
- Collecting credentials in a wallet: digital credentials are securely stored in a digital wallet. Over the years, the individual can track all the learning achievements and stack certain credentials up to showcase certain skills and work achieved.
- Privacy controls: Credential owners have control over who can view their credential. They can set privacy preferences and determine the level of access granted to recipients.
Gain confidence
- Skills awareness: provide individuals with different needs, aspirations and backgrounds to better understand their skills acquired from their courses/modules, improving their own story in front of employers.
- Transferable skills: due to rapid change of skills requirements in various industries, students (who become experienced professionals at some point) can selectively share their credentials as they may be changing careers.
- Portfolio of lifelong learning achievements: individuals are collecting credentials over time and will be able to review their learnings so far; this encourages them to critically think about their decisions in their (professional) life.
Improved social mobility
- Seamless verifications: regardless whether students take first part in in person programmes and then move to distance learning, students can get their credentials seamlessly verified (given the nature of verifiable credentials).
- Easy access to lifelong learning achievements: enable individuals to easily access their learning achievements via the smartphone (i.e. no need to invest in additional tools) and share with third parties as required.
- Portable across geographies: students are more than ever moving to other cities or geographies. While they are on the move, they need to verify their credentials more frequently and digital credentials can facilitate with that.
