Equip Learners With More Than a Transcript

By aligning academic learning with real-world competency, VALID-8 bridges the gap between education and employment—transforming student work into defensible, industry-recognized achievements.

For Colleges: Prove Graduate Readiness

Colleges are uniquely positioned to prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce. VALID-8 supports this mission by:

  • Mapping course outcomes to industry-specific competencies
  • Allowing students to submit real evidence of their skills—projects, videos, work samples, or assessments from Prior learning recognition to in-class or work placements.
  • Enabling instructors to review and validate submissions within a structured framework
  • Generating proof-of-skills profiles and certificates that learners can share with employers
  • Supporting partnerships with apprenticeship programs and workforce development boards

Whether you’re focused on trades, health sciences, business, or tech—VALID-8 helps your grads stand out by showing exactly what they can do.

For Universities: Connect Learning to Career Outcomes Including Prior Learning Recognition

In higher education, VALID-8 provides a scalable way to align academic achievement with career readiness. Here’s how universities use VALID-8 to enhance impact:

  • Embed competency frameworks into capstone projects, research, field placements, and experiential learning
  • Let students build a digital portfolio of validated work, customized for grad school applications or job interviews
  • Validate non-credit and micro-credential learning pathways with the same rigor as degree programs
  • Improve employer partnerships by offering transparent insight into graduate capabilities
  • Provide career services with a tool to better prepare students for the job market

VALID-8 transforms academic evidence into portable, verifiable credentials that go beyond the diploma.
