The Problem
Lack of interoperability creates significant barriers.
As of 2021, over 1 million unique credentials were used to describe learning & inform labor market decision-making. They include everything from the more formal degrees, diplomas, & licenses to the less formal but increasingly more common digital badges & online course completions.
While this explosive growth in unique credentials corresponds to the need for more flexible accreditation pathways for individual workers & learners, the lack of interoperability amongst accrediting bodies creates significant barriers for individuals who must prove what they know and can do and for frontline providers who must make dynamic decisions based on near real-time talent data.
Lack of shared standards for describing learning, skills, & credentials
Reinforced barriers to employment for marginalized learners & workers
Organizations & providers overburdened by manual documenting, verifying, and reporting of labor market data
Distorted market signals & misaligned services fail to meet labor market needs
the solution
We're reimagining a world of work that values and includes all talents.
The SEED Workforce Wallet is your portal into the Fathomverse, a Peer-to-Peer talent network for documenting, verifying, and sharing talent credentials. Furthermore, learners and earners in the network are equipped with more flexible approaches to proving their knowledge, skills, and work experiences without relying on centralized authorities and third-party intermediaries. These innovations aim to bridge critical gaps in national workforce development while empowering individual learners and earners with greater agency and control over their talent records.
