A consortium of academic and professional organisations have launched
a solution for learning credentials running on the IBM Blockchain Platform.
The Learning Credential Network (LCN) hopes to streamline hiring processes with verifiable certificates from training programs and skill boot camps along with conventional degrees.
Still in early development, the platform uses blockchain technology to produce a permanent, verifiable record of learning and skills certifications and qualifications. Job applicants will own their data and choose how, and with whom it is shared. This will enable job applicants to more seamlessly connect with companies, while helping employers more easily and reliably match and verify people’s skills with open jobs.
