VALID-8
for Legacy Skills
Some of the most valuable skills in the world were never taught in a classroom—they were learned by doing, refined through decades of practice, and passed from generation to generation. VALID-8 provides a modern way to capture, validate, and preserve those legacy skills before they’re lost.
Preserve Experience. Prove Mastery. Pass It On.
From master tradespeople and traditional artisans to industry pioneers and cultural knowledge holders, VALID-8 helps turn lived experience into recognized, documented expertise—ready to be shared with the next generation.
For Master Trades & Industry Veterans: Turn Experience into Legacy
If you’ve spent your life honing a skill—on worksites, in workshops, or behind the scenes—VALID-8 gives you the tools to:
- Upload videos, project photos, or testimonials as proof of your craft
- Document decades of practical knowledge in a structured, defensible format
- Create proof-of-skills portfolios to mentor others, apply for credentials, or support career transitions
- Support apprentices or trainees with real-world guidance and validation
- Be recognized for what you’ve contributed—even without formal certification
VALID-8 helps ensure your experience doesn’t retire with you.
For Cultural & Traditional Knowledge Keepers: Protect and Pass Down
Legacy doesn’t only live in industry—it thrives in language, craft, stewardship, and storytelling. VALID-8 supports cultural leaders and community mentors to:
- Record oral teachings, ceremonies, crafts, and traditions
- Validate contributions to community, heritage, and preservation
- Help younger generations access wisdom in ways that are respectful and enduring
- Create a digital trail of lived knowledge that honors the past while shaping the future
Legacy skills aren’t outdated—they’re the foundation of identity, resilience, and continuity.

VALID-8 supports governments, unions, companies, and training providers to:
- Recognize retiring experts or senior staff for their unaccredited mastery
- Build mentorship and succession pipelines based on validated experience
