Driving Adoption of Digital Credentials with IBM's Rick Goldgar
How can we build a system that supports skills-based hiring?
It starts with collaboration.
In a special episode of the Velocity Network podcast, Ollie Henderson interviews Rick Goldgar, IBM's Associate Director of Digital Credentials and Transformation.
They discuss:
Unlocking Career Opportunities: How digital badges are redefining professional advancement beyond traditional degrees.
Degrees vs. Skills: The growing preference for demonstrable skills over academic credentials in the job market.
Educational Shifts: Why educational institutions must recalibrate their offerings to meet labor market demands.
Interoperability Trust: How organizations like the Velocity Network Foundation are enabling the trusted exchange of verifiable credentials globally using open standards.
