Blockchain Ecosystem for Education and Employment Verification

Every year, millions of candidates submit their educational credentials worldwide for admissions or recruitments. An alarming ratio (almost 10%) of applicants, in every recruitment, fabricates their educational history or overstate their academic qualifications. To ensure the validity of credentials, documents are verified, which consumes time and human resources. The process of issue and verification of academic credentials can be made open and distributed through blockchain technology. At the same time, it can be made more secured and trusted by using Smart Contracts.
