- 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
