The Challenge
Academic and professional achievements are not easily verifiable.
In the labour market, proving professional experience and qualifications to employers remains a complicated process, especially at the European level. Professionals applying to national or cross-border work often have to provide proof of professional skill or experience via physical (paper) documents, digitally signed PDFs or self-written CVs. HR departments can either trust the authenticity of the documents or dedicate time and effort to phone back previous employers for verification. Even in the best case, there is no method to authenticate if the trusted document is really linked to the said individual. This means current processes are time-consuming and fraud-susceptible.

The Project
Building the foundations of a new digital job market infrastructure using EBSI.
The project leverages the power of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) to build the foundations of the digital solution recognising companies as both issuers (alumni's services) and verifiers (HR recruitment and business owners) to enable cross-border recognition of professional work certificates for the labour market.
EBSI allows the Employment project to design, build, and operate the next generation of decentralised services. The objective of this project is to enhance the employee and employer experience by allowing:
- Employees to claim work certificate credentials using their personal digital wallets.
- Employees to present work experience and skills certificates for verification and authentication by the employer.
- Enable secure data sharing, selective disclosure, and control over personal employee information.
- Remove the risk of fraudulent work experience and skills from hiring processes.

Professional work certificates in the labour market
Anna works for a company in Germany. After five years at the company, she decides to quit and look for a new job.
- She makes a 1 request at her company's HR office to be issued a work certificate proving the duration and role she held at the company. The HR office 2 issues the work certificate credential to Anna and she 3 stores it in her personal digital wallet. Equipped with the work credential, she can now prove to future employers her professional experience without involving her previous German employer.
- She applies for a position at a Bank in the Netherlands by 4 presenting her work certificate during the application process.
- The Dutch bank is able to 5 verify the credential against the EBSI ledger and, independently of the German company, determine and authenticate the suitability of her experience - progressing her application to the next step of the hiring process.
