Digital credential leader also crosses 20 million learners earning career-advancing credentials on its mission to help organizations and learners measure and demonstrate verifiable skills gain
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. , June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Accredible, the world's leading digital credential platform, announced today that it has issued over 100 million verifiable digital certificates and badges to more than 20 million learners globally. The industry-first milestone marks a watershed moment for digital credentials' role in the skills-based movement as the ability to verify and validate skills has become more important than ever before.
"11 years ago, we set out on a mission to empower individuals with a comprehensive and verifiable snapshot of their skills and competencies after experiencing first-hand the frustration and limitations of traditional credentialing systems," said Danny King, CEO and co-founder of Accredible. "Today's milestones further validate our mission and the incredible work of our customers who have trained and educated more than 20 million people, helping them translate learning into future opportunities."
While Accredible has experienced global demand over the past decade from education and training leaders looking to recognize and engage learners, all signs indicate a digital credential demand tipping point from learners and employers alike. According to ETS' 2024 Human Progress Report, 78% of global respondents believe that evidence of new skill acquisition will be as valued as a university degree by 2035. Couple that with over 73% of employers reporting that hires with alternative credentials helped their organization fill a skill gap and improved the quality of their workforce.
"As learning and work continue to become more integrated so will the importance of digital credentials in helping to connect them with verifiable proof of skills," said Rochelle Ramirez, SVP of Product at Accredible. "Now with the world's largest network of digital credentials, Accredible is perfectly positioned to help issuers ensure learner achievements are not only recognized and verified but also valued in the modern workforce."
